NANOTECHNOLOGY AND ITS IMPACT ON ORNAMENTAL PLANTS: A REVIEW

2018 International Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Allied Sciences  
Nanotechnology defines as directing, constructing and restricting materials and devices on the scale of atoms and molecules. The production of nano material results in the production of large quantities with nanoparticle in the range of 1 to 100 nanometer extents and preparation of these particles involved different chemical and physical methods. It covers a broad range of applications in various fields like nanomedicines, nanobiotechnology, green nanotechnology, industrial applications, energy

But developing countries remain in low progress because of little resources. Nanotechnology plays a vital role in agriculture sector through its applications in pesticides, fertilizers and also growth regulators. Ornamental plants are greatly affected by this technology having long shelf life, holding their ornamental quality for long time, inhibiting bacterial growth and also to obtain high yield.
