Zinc oxide nanoparticles are one of the multifunctional and versatile materials having diverse properties and applications in numerous fields. In the present work, zinc oxide nanoparticles are synthesized utilizing the bio-components of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves which act as the reducing agents. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by particle size analyser, UV-Visible spectroscopy and Infra-Red (FTIR) spectra were studied to analyse the bonding pattern present in the formed nanoparticles. The synthesized Zinc oxide particles were utilized as nano-fertilizers for Triticum aestivum (Wheat) plant. The nano-fertilizers were given on weekly basis in form of foliar spraying and the growth was recorded periodically. The plants treated with zinc oxide nanoparticles showed significant growth against the non-treated plants. Among the various zinc oxide precursors, the nanoparticles formed from the zinc carbonate showed highest growth.
