Effect
Nanozim NXT treated mint, at 100%, 70% and 50% container substrate capacity, showed on average significantly increased leaf number (+35.5%), increased leaf area (+35.5%), increased plant height (+24.2%), increased root dry weight (+30.9%), increased plant fresh weight (+26.5%), increased plant dry weight (+30.8%), increased irrigation water use efficiency (+26%), increased photosynthetic rate, increased transpiration rate, increased stomatal conductance, increased leaf relative water content, increased essential oil ratio, increased midday leaf water potential, decreased 1-Menthone (-33.3%), decreased isopulegone (%) (-18.6%), decreased pulegone (%) (-18%), increased α-Pinene (+178%), increased α- Terpineol (+61.6%), increased 1,8-Cineol (+31.6%), decreased lipid peroxidation, decreased H20, increased CAT activity and increased SOD activity compared to untreated control plants. Biostimulant treated plants showed increased proline content at 50% and 70% CSC, compared to untreated control plants.
