Title

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Seed coating with ZnO raised germination percentage to 93–100%, compared with 80% for uncoated seeds.
- Intervention effect Pot-grown plants from ZnO-coated seeds grew similarly to plants given soluble zinc sulfate.
- Intervention effect Zinc applied through different sources increased IAA production in plant roots.
- Mechanism Zinc-induced IAA production is asserted to subsequently improve overall plant growth.
- Recommendation Nano-scale ZnO seed coating can effectively load the total Zn requirement of the crop.
