Article Synopsis
- Every year, a significant portion (30-50%) of crops is affected by fungal and bacterial diseases, prompting the need for safer and cost-effective alternatives to toxic chemical treatments.
- Recent research highlights the potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), particularly those synthesized from Terminalia bellerica (Tb-ZnO NPs), as both nanofungicides and nanofertilizers for controlling pathogens like Alternaria brassicae in crops such as Brassica juncea.
- Experiments indicated that a concentration of 200 ppm of Tb-ZnO NPs not only enhances plant growth parameters but also improves seed yield and oil content while achieving up to 70% disease control, underlining the beneficial link between nutrient
