The Role of Plant-Mediated Biosynthesised Nanoparticles in Agriculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

Different types of nanomaterials and different strategies could be used in the betterment of the overstressed agriculture. We have tried to focus on the different characterisation techniques involved in nanomaterial synthesis like UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Further, the limitations of physical and chemical methods have also been discussed. We have talked about the organic strategies in detail, like microorganisms and plant-intervened biosynthesis of nanomaterials.
