Actinobacteria Mediated Nanoparticles: A Pioneering Technology for Agriculture

The induction of nanotechnology prevails against several issues threatening healthiness of plants and presents a powerful mean to defeat food crisis in a world of oversized inhabitants. Nanotechnology contributes numerous gadgets and constituents as nanostructures such as nano herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers and biosensors which play momentous roles in killing/suppression of weeds and pests, ingenious supply of nutrients and nourishing substances in soils. Actinobacteria, a class of microorganisms is known for production of antibiotics, growth promoting substances, hydrolytic enzymes and volatile compounds. Actinobacterial assisted synthesis of nanoparticles symbolizes an attractive technique as compared to traditional physico-chemical means as synthesis can be accomplished in assistance with bioremediation processes and can also diminish the utilization or manufacturing of hazardous matters having harmful effects on mankind and ecosystem as well. Therefore, this pioneering technology could carry out liable functions in agriculture by increasing food productivity in lucrative and environmental secured manner and could transfigure the agriculture system through employment of its tenets in adept ways.
