- Observation Docking indicated tight binding of metal sulfates to chitinase.
- Observation Docking estimated MgSO 4 inhibitory binding at -4.03 kcal/mol.
- Observation Docking estimated ZnSO 4 inhibitory binding at -3.88 kcal/mol.
- Intervention effect Copper sulfate reduced powdery mildew disease severity by 81.56%, comparably to commercial fungicide.
- Intervention effect Foliar nutrient applications improved agronomic traits.
- Intervention effect Foliar nutrients increased root yield by 38% over untreated controls.
- Intervention effect Foliar nutrients increased total sugar yield by 90% over untreated controls.
- Intervention effect Nutrient sprays increased peroxidase activity up to 0.482 U/min/g.
- Intervention effect Nutrient sprays increased catalase activity up to 0.725 U/min/g.
- Intervention effect Nutrient sprays raised protein content up to 11.29 mg/g.
