Increased Plant Growth with Hematite Nanoparticle Fertilizer Drop and Determining Nanoparticle Uptake in Plants Using Multimodal Approach

Figure 3

Effect of the hematite NP fertilizer delivered via a modified seed presoak method on the growth of different legumes. (a) Images of plants taken on day 30 of growth after transferring the seeds to potted soil and (b) plots showing comparative time-dependent growth of the plants treated with control DI water, a low concentration of NPs, and a high concentration of NPs. Error bars on the plots are reported based on 95% normalized distribution.
