Effect of titanium nanoparticles (TiO2)‎ on growth, yield and chemical constituents of coriander plants

الملخص EN

An investigation was initiated to examine the effects of nanoscale titanium dioxide nano particles on some growth parameters and chemical constitutes of Coriander.

Coriander plants were sprayed twice with different concentrations of titanium dioxide 2, 4 and 6 ppm, first one after 30 days from cultivation and the second one was after 60 days .The results indicate that titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) lead to a significant increase in plant height, fruit yield and number of branches.

It also caused an increase in amino acids, total sugars, total phenols, total indols and pigments.
