Seed priming of fenugreek seeds with silica nanoparticles: Enhanced growth economics and sustainable agricultural practices

by Nafisa Begam MN

Issue 5

Circular Economy and Bioeconomy

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various concentrations of nano-silica on the germination process of fenugreek seeds. The agro-waste materials such as rice husk, corn cobs and bagasse were used as a precursor for synthesizing nano-silica. Moreover, their formation was confirmed...
