Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Maize plants treated with keratin, PHMB and bentonite (KE+P+B) had a slightly higher root fresh weight.
- Intervention effect Fresh and dry weight of roots and shoots of all bentonite-treated maize plants were significantly higher than in the non-bentonite-treated groups.
- Intervention effect Changes in chlorophyll-a fluorescence were observed in maize for the keratin, PHMB and bentonite variants.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that the proposed materials could be promising seed pelleting agents to improve seed growth and yield.
