Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Low ZnO NP concentrations alleviated drought stress in soybean.
- Intervention effect Low ZnO NP concentrations increased root volume by up to 32.0% in the tolerant variety.
- Intervention effect Low ZnO NP concentrations restored stomatal conductance by 24.6% in the sensitive variety.
- Intervention effect A 400 mg/L concentration or more than three sprays caused significant toxicity and inhibited root growth.
- Intervention effect A 400 mg/L concentration or more than three sprays reduced leaf fresh weight by more than 30.0%.
- Intervention effect Low-dose ZnO NPs enhanced photosynthetic efficiency by 14.7–49.1%.
- Intervention effect High doses reduced photosynthetic efficiency by 45.4–66.3%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 100–200 mg/L up to three times for drought-tolerant varieties.
- Recommendation The authors indicate 50–100 mg/L for sensitive varieties to avoid toxicity.
