The Green Synthesized Co۳O۴ Nanostructures: Dual-Functional Materials for Nano-Agricultural Applications (Growth Promotion and Disease Control)

Cobalt oxide (Co۳O۴) nanoparticles have shown significant potential in the field of nanoagriculture due to their unique catalytic, magnetic and antimicrobial properties. This study deals with the green synthesis of Co۳O۴ nanostructures using a simple reverse micelle-based method and evaluates their dual function as a plant growth promoter and bacterial disease control agent. Co۳O۴ nanotubes were synthesized using cobalt(II) chloride as a precursor, purified soybean oil as the organic phase and Tween ۸۰ as a surfactant. The characterization of the nanostructures was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The agricultural performance evaluation of these nanostructures in research showed that their application leads to significant improvement in growth parameters including shoot length, root length and dry weight of plants and reduction in the percentage of infected leaf area. The antibacterial mechanism was through cell membrane destruction and apoptosis induction. These results indicate that greenly synthesized Co۳O۴ nanotubes can be used as a dual-purpose agent in sustainable agricultural management to promote plant growth and control bacterial diseases.Cobalt oxide (Co۳O۴) nanoparticles have shown significant potential in the field of nanoagriculture due to their unique catalytic, magnetic and antimicrobial properties.
