Tiny magnesium oxide particles (nanoparticles) outperform conventional magnesium fertilizers in acidic soils, keeping more magnesium in the root zone and delivering measurably higher tomato yields and fruit quality.
1
MgO nanoparticles increased exchangeable magnesium in the top 20 cm of soil by over 113% compared to baseline, outperforming both bulk MgO and MgSO4.
2
Magnesium leaching (migration flux) was significantly lower with nanoparticles than with the conventional soluble fertilizer MgSO4.
3
Plants treated with MgO nanoparticles showed improved chlorophyll content, photosynthetic efficiency, mineral accumulation, and superior fruit yield and quality.
