- Intervention effect In cucumbers, chlorophylls, β-carotene and yellow pigments responded favorably to drenching with 100 ppm Fe3O4 NPs.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of 100 ppm Fe3O4 NPs significantly increased βCA activity in cucumber.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of 100 ppm Fe3O4 NPs decreased proline, H2O2 and MDA content by 15.2 % in cucumber.
- Intervention effect Vitamin C increased with ionic forms applied by drenching.
- Intervention effect In lettuce, vitamin C increased with nanoparticles applied by foliar application.
- Intervention effect Lettuce treated with 500 ppm Fe3O4 NPs by drenching had higher chlorophyll and β-carotene content.
- Intervention effect ZnO NPs reduced H2O2 content by 38 %.
- Intervention effect ZnO and Fe3O4 NPs promoted proline by 14 %.
- Intervention effect RuBisCO increased with 250 ppm ZnO NPs applied by foliar application in both crops.
- Intervention effect The greatest RuBisCO increase under 250 ppm ZnO NPs by foliar application was 50 % in cucumber.
- Observation No differences were observed in Fe and Zn accumulation.
- Intervention effect Drenching with 100 ppm Fe3O4 NPs increased Fe content by 80 % compared with control.
