Abstract
Presence of nutrient in soil affect a crop in both qualitative as well as quantitative way. Use of slow releasing fertilizers is trending nowadays as these affect a crop positively. Urea coated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are one of the slow releasing fertilizers. In the present investigation, urea coated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were synthesized, and characterized. The soil in different pots were treated with these nanoparticles, and urea. Some pots (without) any treatment, were used as control. Effect of these treatments were observed on biophysical parameters and oil profiling in two varieties (GIRIRAJ, and NRCBH 101) of Brassica juncea L. Results revealed that in the presence of urea coated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of seeds per plant and seed weight increased significantly. By oil profiling of seeds of these plants also showed positive effect of these nanoparticles. In both varieties, saturated fatty acids (non-essential) were decreased while MUFA, and PUFA (essential) fatty acids increased which is beneficiary to human’s life.
