Nickel (Ni) is a trace element beneficial for plant growth and development and could
improve crop yield by stimulating urea decomposition and nitrogen-fixing enzyme activity. A …

Nickel (Ni) is an essential micronutrient required for plants' metabolism due to its role as a
structural component of urease and hydrogenase, which in turn perform nitrogen (N) …

Abstract Background and aims Nickel (Ni) has a critical role in the urea metabolism of plants.
This study investigated the impact of seed Ni content along with external Ni supply on the …

Nickel (Ni)—a component of urease and hydrogenase—was the latest nutrient to be
recognized as an essential element for plants. However, to date there are no records of Ni …

Background and aims The importance of seed Ni reserves for plant growth and N
metabolism is poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of both seed Ni and …

The potential agricultural use of metal nanoparticles (NPs) for slow-release micronutrient
fertilizers is beginning to be investigated by both industry and regulatory agencies. However …

Sustainable strategies for the management of iron deficiency in agriculture are warranted
because of the low use efficiency of commercial iron fertilizer, which confounds global food …

Nickel (Ni) availability in soil varies as a function of pH. Plants require Ni in small quantities
for normal development, especially in legumes due its role in nitrogen (N) metabolism. This …

Non-point source pollution caused by soil nitrogen loss due to high input of nitrogen and low
use efficiency is a major challenge facing the agricultural industry. Nanotechnology presents …

Since the last decades, nanotechnology has gained the attention of researchers in the field
of plant sciences. The characteristics of nanoparticles are reliant on their shape and size …
