Other claims from this paper (3)
- Association The growth increase depended significantly on the concentration of chitosan.
- Intervention effect The chitosan and magnetite combination was 1.3 times more effective for seed germination than pure chitosan or magnetite.
- Mechanism A mechanism based on chitosan ability to promote iron ion transfer to wheat is proposed.
