520			_aThis thesis looks into the eco-friendly synthesis and complete characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using the plant extract produced from olive leaves. This study focuses on nanofertilizers because of their potential to completely change how nutrients are managed in agriculture. Using Olea europaea leaves extract is consistent with green synthesis, which emphasizes environmentally friendly practices. The aim of this thesis is to synthesize and characterize zinc oxide nanoparticle nanoparticles using the plant olive as the precursor, to synthesize nanofertilizers, to improve plant growth quality, to improve nutrient production ad nutrient level in plant, to check and compare the nutrient level in the control soil and the nanoparticle soil. The bioactive substances found in olive leaves are used as stabilizing and reducing agents during the reduction of zinc precursor ions, which is part of the manufacturing process. In the current investigation, ZnO NPs were produced by harvesting Olive leaves, which is a process that is safe for the surrounding ecosystem. It was calculated that the diameter of the NPs that were created by the synthesis process ranged between 13 and 33nm. X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet light (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were some of the other methods that were utilized in the process of characterizing the NPs that were created. In a 1000-ml conical flask, 50 g of pulverized olive leaf powder were gently suspended after being weighed using an analytical balance. The potential of the nanoparticles to improve plant nutrient availability was highlighted by examining their controlled release of zinc ions, the evaluation of these ZnO NPs' effects on crop output overall, nutrient uptake, and plant growth offers important new information about how effective they are as nanofertilizers. ZnO NPs' was more effective, biocompatible and enabled palnt growth and nutrient uptake.
