Abstract:
      An experiment was carried out in a green-house at Huazhong Agricultural University to reveal the effects of exogenous Laspartate nano-calcium[Ca (L-asp) - NPs] on the growth of rape (Brassica napus) grown hydroponically. We applied six treatments:different concentrations of Ca (L-asp)-NPs (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg·L-1) and ionic calcium[1.18 g·L-1 Ca (NO3) 2]. The dry and fresh weight, root morphological parameters, calcium content, chlorophyll, photosynthetic parameters, MDA, and soluble protein content were and improved the photosynthetic rate of leaves. Applying <100 mg·L-1 Ca (L-asp)-NPs, the total root length, total surface area, and apical number increased significantly by 76.08%, 30.78%, and 1 107.31%, respectively; net photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO2 concentration, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate also increased significantly by 295.31%, 31.90%, 1 158.03%, and 376.74%, respectively. In addition, the application of Ca (L-asp)-NPs decreased MDA levels in rape leaves, while increasing the content of soluble protein in the plants. The research shows that exogenous Ca (L-asp)-NPs can be used as a nano fertilizer to supplement calcium nutrition for rape. The optimum concentration of Ca (L-asp)-NPs is 100 mg·L-1 as this showed the best growth potential, while the growth of rape treated with <100 mg·L-1 Ca (L-asp)-NPs has the closest to the appropriate calcium level. Ca (L-asp)-NPs has the potential to be popularized as a new nano calcium fertilizer in agricultural production. determined. The results showed that lower concentrations of Ca (L-asp)-NPs (25, 50, 75 mg·L-1) had no significant effect on the growth of rape but a higher concentration of Ca (L-asp) - NPs (100 mg · L-1) increased plant biomass, including plant height and root length. Compared with NPS-0, the application of Ca (L-asp)-NPs promoted the growth of rape roots, enhanced the chlorophyll content of leaves, and improved the photosynthetic rate of leaves. Applying <100 mg·L-1 Ca(L-asp)-NPs, the total root length, total surface area, and apical number increased significantly by 76.08%, 30.78%, and 1 107.31%, respectively; net photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO2 concentration, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate also increased significantly by 295.31%, 31.90%, 1 158.03%, and 376.74%, respectively. In addition, the application of Ca(L-asp)-NPs decreased MDA levels in rape leaves, while increasing the content of soluble protein in the plants. The research shows that exogenous Ca(L-asp)-NPs can be used as a nano fertilizer to supplement calcium nutrition for rape. The optimum concentration of Ca(L-asp)-NPs is 100 mg·L-1 as this showed the best growth potential, while the growth of rape treated with <100 mg·L-1 Ca(L-asp)-NPs has the closest to the appropriate calcium level. Ca(L-asp)-NPs has the potential to be popularized as a new nano calcium fertilizer in agricultural production.
