The Efficiency of Nanoparticles on Improving Seed Germination and Mitigating Ammonium Stress of Water Spinach (Ipomoea aquatica Forssk.) and Hami Melon (Cucumis melo L.)
Abstract:Nitrogen, despite being essential for the growth of plants, can pose serious threats to the ecological environment when applied excessively as fertilizers. The application of nanomaterials has a catalytic effect on crop growth and a restorative effect on the environment. However, their effect on mitigating ammonium stress in crops is poorly understood. In the present study, the roles of nanoparticles of magnesium oxide (nMgO) and hydroxyapatite (nHA) with different application rates (0, 10, 100, 500, and 1000 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
