    EFFECT OF ZINC NANO-FERTILIZER ON GROWTH, YIELD AND Zn CONTENT IN MAIZE (Zea mays L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Patel Rajalben P.; Dr. V. P. Ramani
    The study entitled, “Effect of zinc nano fertilizer on growth, yield and Zn content in maize Zea mays L.)” was u ndertaken by conducting a laboratory experiment of synthesis and characterization of zinc nano fertilizer and a field experiment at Main Forage Research S tation, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during r abi season of the year 2018 19. In lab oratory experiment, zinc nano fertilizer (ZnO NPs) was synthesized, using direct precipitation method and cha racterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Th e i nstrumental analysis results indicated that synthesized ZnO NPs were of 35 40 nm particle size , monodispersed, pure, stable and showed characteristic absorption of Zn O bond at wavenumber of 509.46 cm 1 and 604.70 cm 1
