التخليق الحيوي للجسيمات النانوية و تطبيقاتها في مجال مكافحة الآفات الزراعية : دراسة مرجعية

Abstract EN

Nanotechnology is one of the modern technologies used recently in many fields, including agriculture.

nanoparticles are synthesized in many ways, including the biological method, which is an easy, fast, inexpensive and environmentally safe method and depends on using microorganisms or plant extracts.

this review addresses the most recent studies on biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts.

extracts of different plant parts (roots, stems, leaves, fruits, fruit peels, seeds) are used to produce nanoparticles for many minerals, the most important of which are silver and gold and oxides of some minerals such as zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), ferric oxide (fe3o4), in addition to other metals oxides.

the review also covers some examples of using metallic nano-materials in controlling agricultural pests (bacteria, fungi, nematodes, viruses and insects).
