Across the world, a heavenly use of chemical fertilizer is major environmental issue in agricultural fields for sustainable growth of plants. Hence, the chemical fertilizers show adverse environmental effects in human life along with degrade the quality of soil fertility and polluting the water. So there is a need to develop an alternative approach to minimize the high consumption of chemical f...

Utilization of biological materials in synthesis of nanoparticles is one of the hottest topics in modern nanoscience and nanotechnology. In the present investigation, the silver nanoparticles were synthesized by using the leaf and stem extract of Piper nigrum. The synthesized nanoparticle was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), tran...

Climate change and industrial farming activities have negative environmental consequences on living organisms that are of considerable significance to human health directly or indirectly linked agriculture. Global agricultural systems facing numerous unexpected threats in current diversified climate era. However advanced technologies such as nanotechnology a helpful method improve crop producti...

White mold is an agricultural disease caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which affects important crops. There are different ways of controlling this organism, but none provides inhibition of its resistance structures (sclerotia). Nanotechnology offers promising applications in agricultural area. Here, silver nanoparticles were biogenically synthesized using the fungus Trichoderma ha...
