Effects of Phosphorus Ensembled Nanomaterials on Nutrient Uptake and Distribution in Glycine max L. under Simulated Precipitation

Nanoscale hydroxyapatite (nHA) was synthesized to investigate its potential as a phosphorus (P) ensembled nanofertilizer, using soybean (Glycine max L.) model plant. The conventional analogue phosphate (pi) used for comparison with the nHA. Varied precipitation intensities (0%, 30%, 60%, and 100%) were simulated by adding selected volumes of P fertilizers (nHA or pi) via foliar spray soil amendment. total amounts added same across all treatments. importance wash-off effect investigated on foliar-treated seedlings evaluating different watering heights (20, 120, 240 cm above seedlings). Fresh weight, pigment content, macro-, micronutrient contents measured in tissues treatments after 4 weeks greenhouse cultivation. nHA showed superior effects plant nutrient content upon high intensities. For example, at 100% intensity, there 32.6% more 33.2% Ca shoots, 40.6% 45.4% roots, 37.9% 82.3% pods, compared those pi treatment, respectively. No impact biomass evident application pi. Further investigation into customizing enhance affinity crop leaves extend retention time leaf surface is warranted given that present study did not show significant positive impacts growth under precipitation. Taken together, our findings increase understanding nano-enabled fertilizer sustainable agriculture.
