- Abstract
Introduction: Nanotechnology has received a lot of attention in recent years because of its wide range of applications in all scientific fields. Agriculture could benefit from the use of nanoparticles. In today’s world, sustainable agriculture is essential. Smartly designed nanoparticles, such as nanozeolites, nanoclays, and nanofertilizers, can be used to improve soil. Green synthesis of nanoparticles from various organic matter is a much more environmentally friendly method of producing nanoparticles.
Methodology: Pleurotus ostreatus is a common edible and medicinal mushroom species due to its ability to produce a wide range of effective compounds. The oyster mushroom ranks first among macrofungi in the production and application of metallic nanoparticles. Pleurotus ostreatus is used to produce nanoparticles of magnesium, nitrogen, silver, molybdenum, copper, and nickel. In addition, the nanoparticles interact with Chitosan. Chitosan and its derivative nanoparticles have many biomedical applications, including drug delivery, vaccine delivery, antibacterial agents, and wound healing. This mixture interacts with biofertilizers such as Glucanoacetobacter dioazotrophicus (5KOH), Frankia (2RKO), and Clostridium pasteurianium (1CP2).
Result: The synthesis of nanoparticles was confirmed by a significant colour change after a 15-day incubation period at room temperature in each of the metal nano solutions. When the Nano complex was docked with the selected biofertilizers, the In-silco studies of nanoinformatics revealed a good molecular docking score. Based on a successful interaction with a high docking score, it is possible to conclude that nanoparticles can improve biofertilizers in crop production.
