Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Nanoscale ZnO at 1000 ppm promoted peanut seed germination and seedling vigor.
- Intervention effect The same ZnO treatment advanced peanut flowering.
- Intervention effect The same ZnO treatment increased peanut leaf chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Nanoscale ZnO particles increased peanut stem and root growth.
- Intervention effect Foliar ZnO at a 15 times lower dose gave 29.5% higher pod yield in 2008–2009 than chelated ZnSO4.
- Intervention effect Foliar ZnO at a 15 times lower dose gave 26.3% higher pod yield in 2009–2010 than chelated ZnSO4.
- Intervention effect A higher nanoparticle concentration of 2000 ppm had an inhibitory effect.
- Recommendation The authors advise judicious use of nanoscale particles.
