Effect of nanoparticle treatments on chlorophyll content, stem diameter and shoot length in watermelon seedlings at 21 days after transplanting. (A) Chlorophyll a (Chl a) and (B) chlorophyll b (Chl b) content in Riverside and Maxima watermelon seedlings at 21 days after sowing (DAS). Boxplots show the shoot length of watermelon grown in (C) first year, 2017 and (D) second year, 2018; stem diameter of watermelon grown in (E) first year, 2017 and (F) second year, 2018. Control is unprimed, TNE is turmeric oil nanoemulsion and AgNPs is silver nanoparticle-treated watermelon seedlings. *Denotes statistical differences between treatments at the 5% level according to t test and ‘×’ denotes mean.
