<p>Purpose: Recent studies highlight the potential of silicon (Si) and titanium (Ti) nanoparticles (NPs) in agriculture, particularly for foliar application.

摘要

Purpose: Recent studies highlight the potential of silicon (Si) and titanium (Ti) nanoparticles (NPs) in agriculture, particularly for foliar application. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of foliar-applied Si and Ti NPs on biometric parameters, chlorophyll content, and nutrient uptake by maize. Methods: The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications. Concentration of 0, 50, 100, and 200 mg L⁻¹ of Si and Ti were tested in both NP and bulk forms. Root length, root dry mass (RDM), shoot dry mass (SDM), SPAD index, and nutrient content in the SDM were determined. Results: The maximum root length (58 cm) was observed at the 24 mg L⁻¹ dose of TiO2 NPs. Both SiO2 and TiO2 NPs increased shoot length and RDM, with optimal concentration ranging from 164 to 200 mg L⁻¹ for SiO2 and from 50 to 86 mg L⁻¹ for TiO2. SPAD index increased with SiO2 NPs up to 133 mg L⁻¹. TiO2 NPs enhanced K content up to 120 mg L⁻¹ and increased P, Ca, Mg, Cu, and Zn concentrations. SiO2 NPs raised P, Ca, and Mg contents but reduced Fe concentration up to 130 mg L⁻¹. Conclusions: Foliar-applied SiO2 and TiO2 NPs altered maize biometric and nutritional traits, indicating beneficial effects associated with both elemental composition and nanoscale properties.
