Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) were prepared by Caricaceae (Papaya) Shell extracts. The Nanoparticles were analyzed by UV–Vis spectrums, X-ray diffractions, and energy-dispersive X-rays spectroscopy analyses with a scanning electron microscope. An antifungal study was carried out for TiO 2 NP in contradiction of S. sclerotiorums , R. necatrixs and Fusarium classes that verified a sophisticated inhibitions ratio for S. sclerotiorums (60.5%). Germs of pea were individually preserved with numerous concentrations of TiO 2 NPs. An experience of TiO 2 NPs (20%, 40%, 80% and 100%), as well as mechanisms that instigated momentous alterations in seed germinations, roots interval, shoot lengths, and antioxidant enzymes, were investigated. Associated with controls, the supreme seeds germinations, roots and plant growth were perceived with the treatments of TiO 2 NPs. Super-oxide dis-mutase and catalase activities increased because of TiO 2 NPs treatments. This advocates that TiO 2 Nanoparticles may considerably change antioxidant metabolisms in seed germinations.
