A Review on Effect of Copper and Iron Nanoparticle on Agricultural Crop

Abstract

Nano materials are used in practically every aspect of modern life, including agriculture. The conventional fertilizer is replacing by nano fertilizer due to its less quantity required for plant growth and development. Copper and Iron elements are essential micronutrient for plant. Nano Cu and Fe are playing an important role for various attributes such as growth yield, quality, and biochemical parameter. Late blight of potato caused by fungus activity of Phytophthora hence antifungal activity and phytotoxicity improved by the nano Cu. Enzymatic activity (ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and lipid peroxidation) and photosynthesis component (chlorophylls a, b and carotenoids) of plant are much influenced by application of Nano Cu and Fe.
