EFFECT OF NANOPARTICLES ON GROWTH AND GERMINATION OF PULSES

ABSTRACT

All nanoparticles’ particles have their own properties and purposes.
Nanoparticles like iron, silver, magnesium etc. they are commonly
used nanoparticles in nanotechnology to improve the crop yield and
germination. They affect plant in both ways in positive or negative
ways. From the above result, it concluded that nanoparticles effect the
growth, germination percentage, shoot length, Root length, and
germination index of plant in a positive way. It has been seen that
nanoparticles affect plant properties at a constant concentration. But
when the concentration isn’t suitable than the growth and germination
of plant reduced or maybe they doesn’t grow. Most commonly used
nanoparticles are silver nanoparticles and it is a good growth stimulator
for plants. It has seen in above result that silver nanoparticles are the
most useful nanoparticles in agriculture. It increases the growth of
plant at very high extent approx 85%. Some nanoparticles reduced the
growth of plant and also they are toxic for crops yield and growth. They
stop their enzymatic activities due to which they don’t germinate. But
if we treated seeds of a legume crop at a constant concentration, they
achieve their extent growth and yield. Nanoparticles are also increases
the growing speed of crop.
