Abstract
Due to environmental pollution, crop growth and productivity are threatened at different levels. Recapitulation of changes in plant bodies due to water pollution and mitigating strategies reveal the need for précised actions to save crop losses. The present study was carried out to estimate modulations in growth, mineral homeostasis, and nutrient profile of fruits in Capsicum annum L. grown with three concentrations of wastewater (25, 50, 100%) and two levels of silver nanoparticles (40 and 80 mg/L AgNPs). It has been reported that ion accumulation patterns from wastewater clearly vary among crops. Our findings manifested that the application of AgNPs significantly improved the mineral ions in different plant tissues, that ultimately helped to improve growth. Highest improvements were recorded for root shoot P (316 and 197%) at T9 (80 mg/L AgNPs + normal water), while K (273 and 262%), Mg (638 and 916%), and Ca (148 and 273%), at T11 (80 mg/L AgNPs + 50% Wastewater), in comparison with control. Such reduction in elemental uptake that remain detrimental even at low concentrations positively correlates with growth and nutrition of Capsicum plants. Another facet of our observation is dose-dependent improvement in nutritive attributes of fruits i.e., crude fibers, proteins, and carbohydrates by AgNPs. T8 (40 mg/L AgNPs + 100% Wastewater), improved nutritional attributes such as P (55%), Mn (44%), Zn (38%), Carbohydrates (62%), Crude fat (38%), and Fibers (49%) as compared to control. Application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) combined with untreated wastewater (WW) reduced the hazards of contaminants in plants. The finding of the current study suggested that AgNPs are a cost-efficient and environment friendly material having the potential to mitigate harmful impacts of WW on plants.
