“…Ti application increased the concentration of chlorophyll a and b as well as total chlorophyll in common bean (Ram et al, 1983), wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) (Kovacik et al, 2014), and other plant species (Traetta-Mosca, 1913; Bottini, 1964; Pais et al, 1969, 1977). Ti enhanced photosynthetic oxygen evolution and generated a three-fold increase of fructose-1,6-biphosphatase in blue green algae ( Anacystis nidulans Drouet and Daily) (Kiss et al, 1985).…”

Titanium (Ti) is considered a beneficial element for plant growth. Ti applied via roots or leaves at low concentrations has been documented to improve crop performance through stimulating the activity of certain enzymes, enhancing chlorophyll content and photosynthesis, promoting nutrient uptake, strengthening stress tolerance, and improving crop yield and quality. Commercial fertilizers containing Ti, such as Tytanit and Mg-Titanit, have been used as biostimulants for improving crop production; however, mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects still remain unclear. In this article, we propose that the beneficial roles Ti plays in plants lie in its interaction with other nutrient elements primarily iron (Fe). Fe and Ti have synergistic and antagonistic relationships. When plants experience Fe deficiency, Ti helps induce the expression of genes related to Fe acquisition, thereby enhancing Fe uptake and utilization and subsequently improving plant growth. Plants may have proteins that either specifically or nonspecifically bind with Ti. When Ti concentration is high in plants, Ti competes with Fe for ligands or proteins. The competition could be severe, resulting in Ti phytotoxicity. As a result, the beneficial effects of Ti become more pronounced during the time when plants experience low or deficient Fe supply.

“…Titanium can be considered a beneficial nutrient (Carvajal and Alcaraz, 1998;Pais et al, 1977). Some studies of Ti application in a wide range of plant species indicate improvements for the following traits: germination, yield of biomass, protein synthesis, uptake of nutrients, activity of antioxidant enzymes, photosynthesis, and fruit quality (Carvajal and Alcaraz, 1998).…”

Several studies have been carried out on the application of titanium in plant nutrition in recent decades. They indicate that this element has a positive effect on crop phenological events such as germination, root formation, vegetative growth, maturation, as well as resistance to biotic or abiotic stress conditions and general crop health status. Titanium has also been reported to boost the uptake of macro and micronutrients, enzymatic activity in plants, and consequently increase yield. Therefore, pioneering studies of foliar applications of titanium in potato crops are being carried out in Brazil. They demonstrate that titanium reduces urease enzyme activity, but increases peroxidase and nitrate reductase activity during potato growth. During tuberization, there is a positive correlation between superoxide dismutase & peroxidase enzyme activity and titanium application. Although the results are promising, more data is needed regarding the effects of this element on crop performance. This review describes the characteristics of this element and reports innovations regarding its use in plant nutrition.

“…Titanium is not an essential element for plant nutrition. It was observed by [38] that there is an increase of chlorophyll in tomato plants grown in culture solution after spraying with Ti-chelate solution, which is evidence for the biochemical role of titanium in plants. The average concentration of dysprosium obtained in the seven LGAS ranges from 1.405 ppm in Katcha to 1650.0 ppm in Mokwa.…”

In this study, a total of ten essential elements for plants growth in the Guinea savanna region of Niger State in Northern Nigeria have been identified in the soils using instrumental neutron activation analysis. The experimental results show good agreement with certified or literature values within the agreed percentage range of ±2.35% to ±8.69%. However, the concentration distributions of the ten identified elements in the soil samples within the studied area for plants growth revealed the following: Fe (123.4 ppm), Mn (2100.7 ppm), K (5544.3 ppm), Al (54752.4 ppm), Ti (3082.9 ppm), Ca (4635 ppm), V (54.3 ppm), Na (857.5 ppm), Mg (13924.1 ppm), and Dy (12.1 ppm). A further analysis of the two fundamental soil physical parameters for healthy growth of some common crops like egusimelon, groundnut, rice, yams, soybeans, cassava, and potato analyzed in this work revealed a pH range of 4.0 pH–8.0 pH and a temperature range of 28.0°C to 29.3°C, which are optimal for plant nutrients availability in the soils within the study area.
