“…Although studies concerning the application of GNMs on plant growth/productivity are a relatively recent development, the limited studies do cover a wide range of plants. This includes forage crops (alfalfa, 83,84 pearl millet, 85 switchgrass, 19 white clover 86 ), shrubs ( Paeonia ostii , 87 Aloe vera 88 ), herbs ( Lepidium sativum L. calli, 89 coriander 90 ), flowering plants (Catharanthus, 91 Plantago major L. calli, 92 chive, 93 Corylus avellana L., 94 Arabidopsis thaliana 95 ), cash crop (cotton 91 ), cereals (rice, 51,96,97 Avena sativa L., 98 wheat, 99–108 sorghum, 19 Zea mays 109 ), fruits (grapevines, 110 watermelon, 111 gala apple, 112 peeper 113 ), vegetables (cabbage, 114 lettuce, 12,114–116 tomato, 13,113,114,117,118 spinach, 93,114 faba bean, 29,119 garlic, 90 pea, 120 zucchini 121 ), pulse (lentil, 122 soybean 123 ), oil crop ( Brassica napus L. 124,125 ), pine family (red pine, 126 Changbai larch 127 ), white moss, 128 etc. In these studies, GNMs were applied directly to plant or seedling growth media (soil, nutrient growth solution, water) as well as a foliar application or direct injection to plant systems.…”
