Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Agro-waste-derived nano-silica was crystalline, 46.37 nm, with surface area 361.706 m2/g.
- Observation Treated fenugreek germination was 68.5% on day one.
- Observation Treated fenugreek germination peaked on day four.
- Intervention effect Nano-silica raised root length to 8.6 -10 cm relative to control.
- Intervention effect Nano-silica raised shoot length to 6.2 - 7 cm relative to control.
- Intervention effect Nano-silica raised leaf size to 1.71 - 3.08 cm2 relative to control.
- Intervention effect Nano-silica positively influenced seed silica, chlorophyll and polyphenol contents.
- Mechanism Authors attribute improved germination to antioxidant-system enhancement and oxidative-stress protection.
- Recommendation Authors call for investigation of nano-silica concentration hazards before agricultural use.
