“…An energy dispersive x-ray diffractive (E-D-X) analysis was conducted for biosynthesized TiO 2 nanoparticles to identify elementals compositions. A dispersive energy spectrum of sample attained from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to energy dispersive X-ray diffractive (EDX) analysis displays that samples synthesized by the route have pure TiO 2 anatase and ructile phases 68 – 70 . An energy dispersive x-ray diffractive (EDX) approves the existence of Ti and oxygen indications of Titanium dioxide Nanoparticles as displayed in Fig.…”

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were prepared by Caricaceae (Papaya) Shell extracts. The Nanoparticles were analyzed by UV–Vis spectrums, X-ray diffractions, and energy-dispersive X-rays spectroscopy analyses with a scanning electron microscope. An antifungal study was carried out for TiO2 NP in contradiction of S. sclerotiorums, R. necatrixs and Fusarium classes that verified a sophisticated inhibitions ratio for S. sclerotiorums (60.5%). Germs of pea were individually preserved with numerous concentrations of TiO2 NPs. An experience of TiO2 NPs (20%, 40%, 80% and 100%), as well as mechanisms that instigated momentous alterations in seed germinations, roots interval, shoot lengths, and antioxidant enzymes, were investigated. Associated with controls, the supreme seeds germinations, roots and plant growth were perceived with the treatments of TiO2 NPs. Super-oxide dis-mutase and catalase activities increased because of TiO2 NPs treatments. This advocates that TiO2 Nanoparticles may considerably change antioxidant metabolisms in seed germinations.

“…These changes can be linked with the role of Zn, as it is required for chlorophyll production and auxin biosynthesis and plays an essential role in germination, soil fertility, and pollen performance. The combined application of ZnO NPs and biofertilizer in plants produces significant results, which shows their collaboration [ 142 ]. The interaction of biofertilizer and nitrogen NPs increases the available potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen levels in the soil by 126%, 283%, and 38%, respectively.…”

Drastic changes in the climate and ecosystem due to natural or anthropogenic activities have severely affected crop production globally. This concern has raised the need to develop environmentally friendly and cost-effective strategies, particularly for keeping pace with the demands of the growing population. The use of nanobiofertilizers in agriculture opens a new chapter in the sustainable production of crops. The application of nanoparticles improves the growth and stress tolerance in plants. Inoculation of biofertilizers is another strategy explored in agriculture. The combination of nanoparticles and biofertilizers produces nanobiofertilizers, which are cost-effective and more potent and eco-friendly than nanoparticles or biofertilizers alone. Nanobiofertilizers consist of biofertilizers encapsulated in nanoparticles. Biofertilizers are the preparations of plant-based carriers having beneficial microbial cells, while nanoparticles are microscopic (1–100 nm) particles that possess numerous advantages. Silicon, zinc, copper, iron, and silver are the commonly used nanoparticles for the formulation of nanobiofertilizer. The green synthesis of these nanoparticles enhances their performance and characteristics. The use of nanobiofertilizers is more effective than other traditional strategies. They also perform their role better than the common salts previously used in agriculture to enhance the production of crops. Nanobiofertilizer gives better and more long-lasting results as compared to traditional chemical fertilizers. It improves the structure and function of soil and the morphological, physiological, biochemical, and yield attributes of plants. The formation and application of nanobiofertilizer is a practical step toward smart fertilizer that enhances growth and augments the yield of crops. The literature on the formulation and application of nanobiofertilizer at the field level is scarce. This product requires attention, as it can reduce the use of chemical fertilizer and make the soil and crops healthy. This review highlights the formulation and application of nanobiofertilizer on various plant species and explains how nanobiofertilizer improves the growth and development of plants. It covers the role and status of nanobiofertilizer in agriculture. The limitations of and future strategies for formulating effective nanobiofertilizer are mentioned.

“…Biofertilizers, commonly called bio-inoculants, are generally prepared from organic compounds containing microorganisms beneficial to agriculture products with enriched nutrients, primarily N and P ( Chatterjee and Bandyopadhyay, 2017 , Khanna et al, 2019 , Yasmin et al, 2021 ). Biofertilizers, when used in seed treatment ( Singh et al, 2016 ) or applied in soil ( Wani et al, 2016 , Egamberdieva et al, 2018 ), rapidly multiply to increase their number in the rhizosphere ( Sharma et al, 2007 ).…”
