TABLE 2.

Influence of TiO2 nanofertilisers on different crops

Plant Concentration Application method Effects Reference
Maize 0, 100, 300, and 500 mg/L Foliar spray Increase in plant height, dry weight, and yield [79]
Lettuce 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/L NPs in sandy soil Fivefold increase in phosphorus (P) uptake and plant growth (shoot and root length) [80]
Onion 0, 100, 200, and 400 mg/L Seeds soaked in NPs Promote seed germination, maximum germination rate achieved at 100 mg/L [81]
Cabbage 0, 25, 50, and 100 mg/L Seeds soaked in NPs Promote seed germination and root growth [82]
Wheat 0, 30, 50, and 100 mg/kg NPs in soil with phosphorus (P) Promote plant growth and nutrient uptake [83]
Cucumber 0–4000 mg/L Seeds soaked in NPs Promote seed germination and root growth, >300% increase in root length at all concentrations [84]
Barley 0, 100, 200, and 300 mg/L Foliar spray Increase in crop yield [85]
