Due to environmental pollution, crop growth and productivity are threatened at different levels. Recapitulation
of changes in plant bodies due to water pollution and mitigating strategies reveal the need for pr´ecised actions to
save crop losses. The present study was carried out to estimate modulations in growth, mineral homeostasis, and
nutrient profile of fruits in Capsicum annum L. grown with three concentrations of wastewater (25, 50, 100%) and
two levels of silver nanoparticles (40 and 80 mg/L AgNPs). It has been reported that ion accumulation patterns
from wastewater clearly vary among crops. Our findings manifested that the application of AgNPs significantly
improved the mineral ions in different plant tissues, that ultimately helped to improve growth. Highest improvements
were recorded for root shoot P (316 and 197%) at T9 (80 mg/L AgNPs + normal water), while K
(273 and 262%), Mg (638 and 916%), and Ca (148 and 273%), at T11 (80 mg/L AgNPs + 50% Wastewater), in
comparison with control. Such reduction in elemental uptake that remain detrimental even at low concentrations
positively correlates with growth and nutrition of Capsicum plants. Another facet of our observation is dosedependent
improvement in nutritive attributes of fruits i.e., crude fibers, proteins, and carbohydrates by
AgNPs. T8 (40 mg/L AgNPs + 100% Wastewater), improved nutritional attributes such as P (55%), Mn (44%), Zn
(38%), Carbohydrates (62%), Crude fat (38%), and Fibers (49%) as compared to control. Application of silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) combined with untreated wastewater (WW) reduced the hazards of contaminants in
plants. The finding of the current study suggested that AgNPs are a cost-efficient and environment friendly
material having the potential to mitigate harmful impacts of WW on plants.
