Bioproduction of silver nanoparticles and its potential applications in agriculture

Abstract

Agriculture is the backbone of most developing countries. Resistance was developed by microbes that affect crops against synthetic antibiotics. Nanotechnology in the field of agriculture focuses currently on target farming that involves the use of nanoparticles like silver nanoparticles with biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles which is the best method over chemical and physical methods; it was found that nanoparticles were effective against fungal and bacterial infections and crop insect.
