Abstract

The globe is currently experiencing a micronutrient shortage, which is being addressed with various chemical fertilizers that harm the environment and human health. Research is shifting toward nanotechnology to overcome this and using nano fertilizer has sparked scientists’ interest. In this study, we examined the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) dosage on the growth and seed germination of mu ngbean (Vigna radiata L.). This experiment was designed to study the impact of ZnO NPs, obtained from Curcuma longa leaves extract, on seedling vigour index, root, shoot length and chlorophyll content for Vigna radiata species. Three concentrations (3, 6 and 9 mg/mL) of ZnO NPs were examined at the seed germination stage. Significant enhancement of the germination percentage values was observed after the treatment of mungbean seeds with ZnO NPs in comparison with untreated seeds. Green-produced ZnO nanoparticles positively impacted the development and germination of Vigna radiata, indicating a beneficial impact on agricultural productivity. The response to ZnO NPs was dose-dependent, though, therefore more research is needed to determine the ideal dosages for increased agricultural production and human nutrition.
