Abstract

Agricultural productivity is highly challenged by lack of space, diseases and changes in agro climatic conditions. Nanoparticles-reinforced polymer-based materials effectively combine the functional properties of polymers and unique characteristic features of nanoparticles. Biopolymers have attained great attention, with perspective multifunctional and high-performance nanocomposites exhibiting a low environmental impact with unique properties, being abundantly available, renewable, and eco-friendly. SeNPs has attracted increasing attention due to their high bioavailability and novel therapeutic properties. XRD & UV-visible optical absorption spectroscopy techniques have been employed to characterize the as prepared or synthesized selenium bio inorganic nanoparticles. Selenium is trace mineral which are crucial for the maintenance of plant physiology in agriculture science. The particle size was calculated using Scherer’s formula for XRD and a equation for UV-vis, finally the lowest particle size of Se nanoparticle was 48 ± 5 nm. Beyond synthesis and characterization, the relevance of SeNPs to agriculture is discussed in the context of nano-enabled stress tolerance (drought/salinity), crop quality, and safer delivery approaches, while emphasizing dose-dependence and environmental risk governance. Recent literature indicates SeNPs can improve crop performance under abiotic stress when applied at optimized concentrations, but also highlights that nano-inputs require risk-aware deployment frameworks, including exposure assessment and regulation-aligned safety evaluation.

Keywords: Agriculture, UV vis, soil enhancement, nanotechnology, Se nanoparticles, XRD.
