Ecofriendly Approach for the Biosynthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and their Applications in Agriculture: A Review

Zinc oxide nanoparticles gained the attention of researchers due to their physical and chemical properties. Antimicrobial activity is an important factor to focus on these metal oxide nanoparticles. Zinc is an important micronutrient for plants and humans. The deficiency of Zinc in crops is a big problem worldwide, which indirectly affects humans. Large amounts of inorganic fertilizers creating environmental problems along with health issues. To overcome these problems researchers are focusing on the development of nano fertilizers with additional benefits. Green method based synthesis of metal oxides is an ecofriendly and cost-effective method. In this review article, we discussed the current status of zinc oxide nanoparticles and their applications, especially in the agriculture sector.
