Reports of nutrients involved in mitigating cold stress in plant.

Types of nutrients	Crops	Effect	References
Hydrogen Sulfide	Cucumber	Application of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, an H2S donor) develops cold stress tolerance of cucumber seedlings also the level of auxin is enhanced in the crop.	Zhang et al., 2021
Potash	Carnation	Application of K in high concentrations with irrigation water prevents plant stem damage during low night temperatures in carnation plants.	Kafkafi, 1990
	Potato	In potato plants, during cold stress decreased yield and increased leaf damage were found which can be mitigated by the application of potash in plants.	Grewal and Singh, 1980
	Tomato, Pepper, and Brinjal	Through the application of K, it was observed that total plant yield was increased by 2.4-fold in tomato, 1.9-fold in pepper, and 1.7-fold in brinjal.	Hakerlerler et al., 1997
Phosphorous	Lowland rice	Application of exogenous phosphorus can alleviate low-temperature stress along with p deficiency also it was helpful in shortening day to heading in early and intermediated transplanting crop of rice	Andrianary et al., 2021
Boron	cucumber, cassava, sunflower	Application of boron during cold stress can alleviate the effect of chilling-induced reduction in, membrane fluidity, plasmalemma hydraulic conductivity, root pressure, and water channel activity which leads to a improving in hydrolic conductance of root, uptake of water and nutrient in plant	Huang et al., 2005
Magnesium	Tomato	During low temperatures and high concentrations of K, the risk of Mg deficiency in tomatoes is high. So, the application of magnesium can achieve the normal growth of plants during cold-stress conditions.	Li et al., 2018
