Abstract

In the present work zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using simple green method. The prepared nano particles of zinc oxide was characterized by using XRD, FTIR, TG/TDA and SEM. The particles size was estimated using XRD pattern. This study shows that the exploit of aqueous extraction of the curcuma longa tubers powder act as reducing and stabilizing agent. The preparation of nanoparticle by green synthesis causes significant effect on bioavailability of seed germination and seed growth parameters of the mung bean. The seed germination experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions to ensure uniform conditions. Biological method highlights the necessity for sustainable study on the impacts of nanoparticles on agricultural and environmental sectors.
