Abstract

Nanotechnology is a new approach of science which provides alternative tool in many fields including agriculture. This comprehensive review focuses on the biosynthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), highlighting their vast potential in agroindustry applications. Unlike traditional physical and chemical methods, which are often costly, time-consuming, and involve hazardous materials, this review explores the promising biological synthesis routes, offering a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative for producing ZnO NPs. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles from the biological extracts like bacteria, fungi and plant parts (root, stem, leaf and seed) is very simple eco-friendly, and free from any harmful chemicals. Phytochemicals like phenolic, terpenoids, flavonoids and alkaloids act as stabilizing and reducing agents in the formation of NPs. Biosynthesis of NPs’ confirmation is done by the UV-Visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). UV-Visible gives strong spectra. TEM and SEM determine size and shape, EDX determines the purity of NPs and FTIR identifies the functional group of NPs. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) play a pivotal role in boosting plant growth and development, and their application as nano-fertilizers has revolutionized the agricultural landscape, offering a novel and effective approach to enhancing crop yields, improving nutrient uptake, and promoting sustainable farming practices. Due to presence of antimicrobial property, ZnO NPs exhibit strong activity against the plant pathogenic fungi and plant parasitic nematodes. ZnO NPs reduce the plant pathogens growth and can be used in management of plant disease. ZnO NPs increases plant growth and yield. ZnO NPs have important role as anticancer drug, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, dietary supplement agent, nano-fertilizers, nano-pesticides and nano-biosensors. Nano-biosensors are very advance technology which is used in plant pathogen detection. Biosynthesized ZnO NPs showed the antimicrobial activity and this property eliminates plant pathogens, so ZnO is employed in the plant disease management
