Article Synopsis
- Amaranth is a nutritious food crop with higher yields in greenhouses but lower nutritional value, prompting research into the use of hydrogen peroxide (HO) as a growth enhancer.
- The study examined the effects of various concentrations of HO (0, 125, 250, and 400 mM) applied to amaranth grown in greenhouses, focusing on growth parameters, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic compounds.
- Results indicated that while chlorophyll and basic growth metrics showed no significant difference compared to controls, the 125 mM treatment notably improved antioxidant capacity and the seeds responded better to 250 mM HO, demonstrating that HO could enhance nutritional benefits without compromising growth.
