Abstract:Zinc deficiency is a growing concern among the global population, and it can be attributed to the depletion of significant portions of agricultural land and the production of foods that are low in zinc. In the current study, an efficiency-centric method of maize cultivation with zinc oxide nanoparticles encapsulated in chitosan (Cs-ZnO NPs) is proposed and evaluated. In order to investigate, NPs were chemically synthesized using process improvement for better size and shape and characterized using Scanning ele… Show more
