Abstract
A nanotechnology is expanding area of research is speedily gaining significance and a prominence interest among the farmers. In the present study, the chemical and green synthesize MgO nanoparticles are used for the treatment of maize seeds germination. The green method is a simple, reducing toxic chemical’s concentration, an eco-friendly and economically viable. Hence, a locally available plant cissus quadrangularis was selected for MgO nanoparticle’s synthesis. The result of XRD, TG/DTA, SEM, TEM, and PSA analysis confirmed formation of MgO nanoparticles. XRD showed the crystalline size of chemical and green synthesized nanoparticles are 25 nm and 24 nm, and the morphology is spherical analysed by SEM. This study is carried out to determine the nanoparticles penetration inside the seed coat, root growth, shoot growth and stimulate the growth hormones. The MgO nanoparticles capability to amplify the dry weight by delivering water to the whole seedling which help to enhance the water nutrient transport and the biomass. The experiment was administered under greenhouse conditions. From the results obtained it is suggested that a green MgO could be used effectively in agricultural fields.
