2. NANOTECHNOLOGY
 The design, characterization, production
and application of structures, devices and
systems by controlling shape and size at the
nanoscale

3. NANOSCALE
 Theterm‘nanotechnology’isbasedontheprefix
‘nano’-Greekword meaning ‘dwarf’
Word‘nano’means10ˉ⁹oronebillionthpartofa metre
1nanometer=onebillionth(10ˉ⁹)ofmetre

4. “Adaptability to manipulate, control, assemble, produce and
manufacture things at atomic precision” (THERE’S PLENTY OF ROOM AT
THE BOTTOM )
Richard feynman
“Thefatherof Nanotechnology”

5. Norio Taniguchi, Professor
- coined the term “Nanotechnology”(1974)
“Nano- technology’’ - processing, separation,
consolidation and deformation of materials by
one atom or by one molecule".

6. Properties Of Nanoparticles
 Nanoparticles show unusual physical,chemical and biological
properties,which are completely lacked in their bulk molecule.
 Nanoparticles have a high surface to volume ratio that increase
their reactivity and biochemical activity.
 Nanoparticles possess strong affinity to targets such as proteins.

7. Applications

8. Synthesis Of Nanoparticle
 Chemical method
 Physical method
 Biological method

9. Chemical method
 Chemical reduction method :In this method, a copper salt is reduced
by a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride, ascorbic acid into
copper nanoparticle.
 Sonochemical method : In this method powerful ultrasound radiation
of 10 -20 Hz are applied to molecule to enhance the chemical
reaction.

10. Physical method
• Electro chemicalmethod :In this method electricity is
usedas the driving or controlling force to produce
nanoparticlesof metal.

11. Biological Synthesis Of Nanoparticles
• Microbial synthesis of nano particle: Numerous
micro organism have been found to produce
nanoparticles in the substrate.

13. Photosynthesis Of Nanoparticles
Plant extracts can also serve as one of the effective and eco
friendly material for synthesis of nanoparticles. E.g extract
from Ocimum tenuiflorum ,Solanum tricobatum,Citrus
sinensis were used for synthesis of silver nanoparticlesfrom
silver nitrate solution.

21. Scope Of Nanotechnology
 Nanotechnology can be used as alternative tool for
existing plant disease management.
 Nanotechnology can be used for combating the plant
disease either by controlled delivery of functional
compounds or as diagnostic tool for disease .
 Importance of nanoscale delivery system in agriculture is
because of its improved solubility and degradation in the
environmental factors.

22. Conclusion
 Use of nanoparticles in plant disaese management is a novel
and fancy approach that may prove in future with the
progress of application aspect of nanotechnology.
 Despite of tremendous application scope of nanotechnology in
plant disease management ,there are certain demerits, risk and
apprehension in the use of NPs in agriculture which are
required to be worked out on priority and before the
commercial use of nanotechnology in agriculture
