In latest the latest study published in the journal Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, green manganese nanoparticles (MnNPs) were created from two distinct plant extracts, Eucalyptus robusta (ER) and Corymbia citriodora (CC), and their efficacy as a nano fertilizer in the treatment of corn seeds (Zea mays) was tested.

Nanotechnology has influenced a variety of industries. In agriculture, it tends to create more ecologically efficient fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in higher agricultural output and fewer ecological effects.
Global Agricultural Problems
One of mankind's most difficult issues is ensuring worldwide food availability and reliability. World population expansion, along with the contemporary environment transition paradigm, an increasing shortage of environmental assets, diminishing levels of crop output in certain nations, and a lack of cropland, have heightened the need for creative solutions. According to projections, agricultural output would need to expand by at least 70% by 2050 to fulfill demand. As a result, it is critical to expedite and broaden the development of sustainable farming to secure global food security.
Application of Nanoscience for Agricultural Applications
Nanoparticles can be used as environmentally friendly insecticides in...
