Hayam A.A. Mahdy; A.M.R Abdelmawgoud; Z.F Fawzy; et al. Journal of Applied Horticulture 2024. doi:10.37855/jah.2024.v26i01.02
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Nano calcium produced higher cucumber plant height, fresh and dry weights, and branch counts than nano silicon.
- Intervention effect Cucumber growth was best at 1.0 g/L nano calcium.
- Intervention effect Nano elements increased cucumber plant N, P, and K versus control.
- Intervention effect Nano elements increased cucumber plant Ca and Si versus control.
- Intervention effect Nano calcium increased cucumber fruit length, diameter and average weight.
- Intervention effect Nano silicon increased cucumber fruit length, diameter and average weight.
- Intervention effect Nano calcium increased total cucumber fruit weight.
- Intervention effect Nano silicon increased total cucumber fruit weight.
- Recommendation The authors suggest yield increases may outweigh nano nutrient costs.
