Stimulation of Plant Growth
The carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles of silver, zinc oxide, etc can be really helpful in remediating the plant growth by ensuring that the nutrients are utilised optimally by the plants. However, the chances of success depend on a lot of factors like the susceptibility of plants species and other parameters including the concentration, composition, size and chemical properties of nanomaterials.
Further, it’s crucial to understand the interaction between the plants and nanomaterials so as to identify how much impact is being created in the procedure. For this purpose, new protocols can be developed and different analytical techniques like microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, and fluorescence spectroscopy can be used.
