Abstract Background A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the phytotoxic thresholds of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs), iron (FeO copper (Cu and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on cotton. All were biosynthesized from Conocarpus erectus L. leaf extract. They characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Five concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 ppm) all foliar applied thrice over duration cotton growth. seeds sown in 5...

Maize (Zea mays L.), an important crop used for animal feed and human consumption, is currently threatened by water shortage. Recently, the usage of nanomaterials has attracted worldwide attention due to their applications in various fields. This research aimed evaluate comparative efficacy different metal oxide nanoparticles mitigating drought stress maize. Iron oxide, manganese copper were biosynthesized from leaf extract Conocarpus erectus L. characterized via UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM. The...

Wastewater is one of the major concerns for agriculture, and composition wastewater depends on its origin. Generally, industrial consists azo dyes heavy metals that contaminate food chain. In this study, nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) were biosynthesized from Shewnella spp. characterized by UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Azo dye decolorization indicated NiO-NPs decolorize...

Food safety certifications, such as the Global Good Agricultural practices standard (GGAP), are mandatory for export. This research was conducted a baseline to study suitability of this in generic conditions Pakistan. A questionnaire prepared based on Fruit and Vegetable (F&V) module GGAP. Based annual turnover, five (5) groups were designed comprising fifteen (15) farmers. Results revealed that clauses related simple paperwork found implementable. However, needed capital investment...

<title>Abstract</title> Background Cotton Leaf Curl Virus Disease (CLCuD) is one of the major concerns for cotton growers. The traditional approach to managing CLCuD involves control vector (whitefly) population through use pesticides. In this study, efficacy nanoparticles was compared with present study conducted evaluate comparative zinc oxide (ZnO nanoparticles), iron (FeO copper (Cu nanoparticles) and silver (Ag nanoparticles). Optimized doses were applied in a field trial against...
