Article Synopsis
  • Blueberries thrive best in soilless culture, which requires careful nutritional management, yet the impact of different nutrient ratios on their growth is not well understood.* -
  • The study found that a 50:50 ratio of NH4-N to NO3-N significantly boosts plant growth, nutrient uptake, chlorophyll levels, and supports the best flowering and fruiting rates.* -
  • Overall, the 50:50 nutrient treatment is recommended for enhanced vegetative growth and production of blueberries in controlled environments, with the 25:75 ratio also beneficial for soluble sugar content.*

In flowering Chinese cabbage, early booting is one of the most important characteristics that is linked with quality and production. Through fixed light intensity (280 μmol·m·s) and fixed intermittent lighting in flowering Chinese cabbage, there was early bolting, bud emergence, and flowering. Moreover, the aboveground fresh weight, blade area, dry weight of blade, and quantification of the leaves in flowering Chinese cabbage were significantly reduced, while the thickness of tillers, tillers height, dry weight of tillers, and tillers weight were significantly increased.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution threatens plant physiological and biochemical activities and crop production. Significant progress has been made in characterizing how nanoparticles affect Cd stress tolerance; however, the molecular mechanism of nZVI nanoparticles in Cd stress remains largely uncharacterized. Plants treated with nZVI and exposed to Cd had increased antioxidant capacity and reduced Cd accumulation in plant tissues.
