Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect A 500 ppm nano ZnO spray gave higher plant height than bulk ZnSO4.
- Intervention effect A 500 ppm nano ZnO spray gave higher leaf area than bulk ZnSO4.
- Intervention effect A 500 ppm nano ZnO spray gave higher leaf area index than bulk ZnSO4.
- Intervention effect A 500 ppm nano ZnO spray gave higher TDM than bulk ZnSO4.
- Intervention effect TDM was 16 percent higher with 500 ppm nano foliar spray than 1000 ppm bulk foliar spray.
- Intervention effect Grain yield was 9.5 percent higher with 500 ppm nano foliar spray than bulk foliar spray.
- Intervention effect Grain yield was 9.5 percent higher with 1000 ppm nano foliar spray than bulk foliar spray.
- Intervention effect Nano ZnO raised grain zinc accumulation by 18% against control.
- Intervention effect Bulk ZnSO4 raised grain zinc accumulation by 11% against control.
- Observation Nano ZnO above 1000 ppm had an inhibitory effect.
- Recommendation The authors advise judicious use of nano particles in foliar applications.
