Abstract
Sustainable food production is a challenge for modern agriculture. An alternative to increase crop yields is the use of fertilizers that allow a reduction of inputs such as nanofertilizers and foliar sprays with nutrients in gas form. Combinations of nano Zn and Mo, as well as chlorine dioxide (ClO2), have shown favorable results. However, information on the use of Zn and Mo nanofertilizers and ClO2, and their effects on primary metabolism and yield in bean plants, is scarce. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the effect of foliar application of nano Zn-Mo and ClO2 on nitrogen and carbon assimilation and their relationship with bean plant yield. Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cv. Strike were grown for 53 days. The application of ClO2 at 30 ppm, nano Zn-Mo at 4 ppm, and a control without application were compared. The application of nano Zn-Mo increased biomass, yield, chlorophyll index, soluble amino acids, total chlorophyll, and sucrose. The application of ClO2 favored biomass, photosynthetic rate, and electron transport rate. Finally, the results suggest that carbon assimilation is integrated with nitrogen assimilation, and that foliar application of nano Zn-Mo could boost both metabolisms and improve yield in bean plants.
