Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect All potassium treatments significantly improved plant nutrient content against the unfertilized control.
- Intervention effect Double-rate nano-potassium produced the highest nitrogen content, 1.77%, a 131% increase over control.
- Intervention effect Integrated and combined treatments enhanced nitrogen content to 1.667–1.71%, a 117–123% increase.
- Intervention effect Recommended-rate nano-potassium gave the highest phosphorus content, 0.611%.
- Intervention effect Combined or integrated treatments improved phosphorus uptake.
- Intervention effect Nano-potassium treatments provided more balanced nutrient uptake and improved efficiency.
- Mechanism Authors attribute nutrient gains to potassium activating enzymes, improving roots and aiding nutrient transport.
- Recommendation Authors support nano-K as a sustainable alternative to conventional potassium sources.
