A stronger foundation for canola productivity
Treated canola seeds showed an approximately 10% increase in germination percentage, supporting faster and more uniform crop establishment. Nanoparticle-treated plants produced 1.23-fold greater biomass compared with untreated controls, indicating improved nutrient uptake and early vegetative growth. These gains in establishment and plant vigour help create a stronger foundation for canola productivity, particularly under challenging or variable growing conditions.
Seed application
How trigger release fertiliser protects small seeds such as canola at sowing.
