Description
Summary:The study aimed to investigate potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized by Corriandrum sativum leaf extract as nutrient source for Vigna radiate seeds in relation to seedling growth and germination Vigna radiate seeds. The ZnO NPs were prepared at 100 °C [[ZnO [A]] and calcined at 550 °C [[ZnO [B]]. The synthesized ZnO NPs was characterized by TEM, FTIR and XPS. The ZnO NPs were found to be in irregular shapes for ZnO NPs (A) and triangular and quasi spherical for ZnO NPs (B). The suitable concentrations of ZnO NPs for seedling emergence and germination of Vigna radiate seeds were then explored at varying the ZnO NP levels (0, 15, 62, 125, and 250 mg/L). Accordingly, Vigna radiate seeds were not significantly affected by ZnO NPs. Therefore, the potential of green synthesized ZnO NPs has been recognized as a nano-based nutrient source for agricultural applications.
