Comparative Assessment of Crop Performance Due to Exposure to Chemically and Green-Synthesized Nanoparticles Under Abiotic Stress
摘要
Abiotic stress significantly affects agricultural productivity, with factors such as salinity, toxic metals, drought, and temperature variations reducing crop yields. Green nanotechnology offers an environmentally sustainable approach to mitigate these stresses while minimizing ecological harm. Unlike traditional physical and chemical nanoparticle (NP) synthesis methods, green synthesis leverages biological resources, making it a safer and more effective alternative. This chapter explores the role of green-synthesized NPs in enhancing abiotic stress resilience, improving plant defense mechanisms, and sustaining crop growth and yield.
