Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Nanoencapsulated foliar nutrients improved nutrient penetration and mobilization more than free fertilizers.
- Intervention effect Nanoencapsulated nutrients enhanced overall growth versus free fertilizers.
- Intervention effect Microbial amendments alone influenced bulb secondary metabolites.
- Intervention effect Combined microorganisms and nanonutrients increased dry matter and mineral content.
- Intervention effect Combined microorganisms and nanonutrients increased aquaporin gene expression.
- Mechanism The authors inferred aquaporins transport nutrients from leaves to storage organs.
- Observation The combined treatment was associated with PIP2 overexpression in bulbs.
- Intervention effect The combined treatment improved water uptake and cell growth.
- Recommendation The authors recommend combined microbial and nanonutrient treatment for onion productivity in field conditions.
