Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Root and shoot Fe concentrations increased as nanoparticle dose rose from 100 to 500 mg L−1.
- Observation Maize response ranked Fe3O4 above γ-Fe2O3, α-Fe2O3 and bulk Fe3O4.
- Intervention effect Across 100–500 mg L−1, Fe application had no significant effect on maize biomass, chlorophyll or root length.
- Intervention effect Root-applied iron oxide nanoparticles raised plant biomass 23–37%.
- Intervention effect Foliar-applied iron oxide nanoparticles raised plant biomass 5–9%.
- Intervention effect Foliar application increased chlorophyll content 29–34%.
- Intervention effect Root application increased chlorophyll content 18–22%.
- Observation Imaging suggested nanoparticles moved through epidermis, cortex and endodermis.
- Recommendation The authors recommend root application of Fe3O4 at 100 mg L−1 for maize performance and lower fertilizer use.
