The aim of this study was to
determine the effects of nTiO2Ag, co-application of nZnO and nTiO2Ag
and co-application of EDDS as an organic acid with nTiO2Ag on seed
germination, seedling vigor, plumule and radicle length of rye. Ten seeds were
placed in petri-dishes with double layer of filter paper which used as an inert
material. Then 5 mL nTiO2Ag, nZnO-nTiO2Ag and EDDS-nTiO2Ag
suspensions were added to every petri dish with different concentrations
(control, 50, 100 and 200 mg/L). Treatment of nZnO-nTiO2Ag,
especially at concentration of 50 mg/L, promoted the germination rate, seedling
vigor, plumule and radicle elongation. The highest seedling vigor index (SVI)
was observed at concentration of 50 mg/L nZnO-nTiO2Ag. Seedling
vigor index of rye seeds was decreased after treatment of nTiO2Ag.
The plumule elongation increased with treatment of all test chemicals and
radicle elongation was increased nZnO-nTiO2Ag and EDDS-nTiO2Ag
exposure compared to control. This is the first report on the effect of co-application
of ZnO-TiO2Ag nanoparticles and co-application of EDDS-TiO2Ag
nanoparticles on rye growth.
