Zinc Nanoparticles (ZnNPs): High-Fidelity Amelioration in Turnip (Brassica rapa L.) Production under Drought Stress

The detrimental effects of drought have adverse impacts on the crop yield as global climatic changes put unusual pressure water resources. challenge attaining security is key for sustainable development crops. Zinc (Zn2+) an important nutrient that helps to alleviate stress by modulating growth and Recently, zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) been used a novel strategy fertilization This study was specifically developed observe comparative ZnNPs conventional sulfate (ZnSO4) at diverse concentration levels (0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%) could effectively decrease injurious effect turnip plants. In experiments golden variety, caused significant reduction in all biochemical attributes, increased antioxidant enzymatic activity. comparison with fertilizer ZnSO4, foliar application 0.1% significantly improved plant height, biomass, root/turnip length, diameter, defense system, secondary metabolites, photosynthetic pigments leaves under stress. Based collected results, it suggested ZnNPs, instead helpful increasing
