Manganese (Mn) is one of the essential elements for plant growth and is involved in the process of photosynthesis and seed germination. Herein, we applied two Mn-based nanoparticles, MnO and MnO, to the soil to investigate their effects on radish growth, antioxidant system, and nutrients. The radish plant height after treatment with 10 mg/kg of MnO and MnO NPs were increased, compare to the control.
