Sulfur Nanoparticles Improves Root and Shoot Growth of Tomato

Abstract: The objective of this research work is to synthesize sulfur nanoparticles by green route and to investigate the beneficial effect on root and shoot growth of tomato. Sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) synthesized using aqueous extract of Ailanthus altissima leaves at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) inspections indicated that nanoparticles are spherical and polydispersed with diameters ranging between 5 and 80 nm. The potential of sulfur nanoparticles for enhancing toma… Show more

“…The results revealed the significant increases in all photosynthetic pigment contents (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and total pigments) in response to treatment with different concentrations of AgNPs. This is in line with the results obtained by Farghaly and Nafady (2015) and Latif et al (2017) who reported that AgNPs significantly promote photosynthesis and it is closely related to the change of nitrogen metabolism. Also, Racuciu and Creange (2007) reported that chlorophyll content of maize plants was increased with low concentration (10-50 μl/l) of AgNP treatment while it was found to be inhibited at higher concentrations of NPs.…”

“…A decrease in seedling vigour index was observed in pomegranate aril based nanoformulation after 1000 ppm concentration. This result was in accordance with the observation found by Salem et al (2016) [7] , who observed an inhibitory effect of suphur nanoparticle on tomato seeds beyond 300 ppm concentration.…”

“…The recent developments in agriculture cover the applications of NPs for more effective and safe use of chemicals for plants. The effects of different NPs on plant growth and phytotoxicity were reported by several workers including magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles and plant growth [9], alumina, zinc, and zinc oxide on seed germination and root growth of five higher plant species; radish, rape, lettuce, corn, and cucumber, silver nanoparticles and seedling growth in wheat [10], sulfur nanoparticles on tomato [11], zinc oxide in mungbean, nanoparticles of AlO, CuO, FeO, MnO, NiO, and ZnO [12]. Silver nanoparticles can stimulate wheat growth and yield.…”
