Preparation of a novel 6-BA@MSNs nanocomposite priming agent for efficient enhancement of seed vigor and seedling drought tolerance in oats (Avena sativa)
This work offers a promising nano-priming strategy for oats and other crops, wherein the controlled release property of MSNs allows for reduced 6-BA application dosages. Reducing dosage improves 6-BA utilization efficiency, mitigates environmental impact, and retains robust biological efficacy, thereby underscoring significant potential for sustainable agricultural application.
