Nanotechnology is found to have many applications of which plantpathology is the one important field. In recent years, nanotechnology has been increasingly applied to the development ofnovel antimicrobials for the management of pathogenic bacteria affecting agricultural crops. This review discusses theapplications of different nanoparticles in plant disease management and their mode of action against the bacteria. Thesynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) using biomolecules (protein, enzyme, DNA and plant extracts) have opened a newavenue of research in green nanobiotechnology. They are proved to be effective, cheap and eco-friendly in combatingmicrobes. Reactive oxygen species production, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, ATP depletion and DNAdegradation are some of the mechanisms by which nanomaterials used to kill bacteria.","PeriodicalId":14906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Scientific Research","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74541452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quasi- experimental design was adopted to assess the effectiveness of simulation based learning interms of competency of nursing students. Data was collected from 109 students studying in BSc. 4th Year in M.M.College of Nursing and M.M. Institute of Nursing. Purposive sampling technique was used to randomly allocate theparticipants in experimental and comparison group. The study findings showed that majority (76.7%) and (73.5%) of thenursing students were female in experimental and comparison group respectively. In experimental group, the mean posttestknowledge score (23.7 ± 4.1) and (22.3 ± 4.2) was higher than the comparison group. The mean post-test skillsscore (27.2 ± 4.3) in experimental group was higher than (24.7 ± 5.3) in comparison group.
