Title : Prospects of green synthesized manganese nanoparticles (Mn NP’s) from cressa cretica and their impact on growth potential of Zea mays L.in agronomic production
Abstract:
The green synthesis of nano-particles offer environmental friendly method compared to the conventional methods for improving crop growth and yield. Manganese nanoparticles (Mn NPs) have emerged as a promising tool in sustainable agriculture due to unique physicochemical properties and their potential to enhance plant growth. This study explores the green synthesis of Mn NPs by from a halophyte Cressa cretica. agents. Characterization of the synthesized Mn NPs was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to determine their size, morphology, and composition. The results demonstrated that Mn NPs are highly stable with desirable properties for agricultural applications. This study also evaluated the role of Mn NPs in promoting the growth of Zea mays (maize) by increasing overall biomass, nutrient availability and improved photosynthesis efficiency under NaCl stress. The application of Mn NPs as a nano-fertilizer could prove potentially beneficial for improving crop productivity, particularly in saline or nutrient-deficient soils. This research highlights the dual benefit of Mn NPs in fostering sustainable nanotechnology and advancing agricultural practices. The green synthesis of Mn NPs not only offers an eco-friendly method but could also pave the way for its innovative use in enhancing plant growth and agricultural sustainability
