In this present study, the green synthesized molybdenum (Mo5O14) nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized using the co-precipitation method using Eisenia fetida vermiwash extract and their application to the seed germination of Vigna radiata. UV visible spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirm the formation of molybdenum nanoparticles and their interaction with the functional group of enzymes present in the vermiwah. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) study reveals that the crystallinity has a tetragonal shape and is 35 nm in size. A SEM study shows the formation of Mo5O14 NPs. The TEM and SAED patterns also exhibit a spherical shape with a size of 210.85 nm and polycrystalline Mo5O14 NPs. In order to evaluate the bio-potential properties of Mo5O14 NPs, seed germination studies were carried out with green gram (V. radiata) with different concentrations of Mo5O14 NPs and showed a positive influence on the germination of green gram. However, Mo5O14 NPs are being them as nanofertilizer in agriculture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
