Abstract

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAp) have the potential to stimulate plant growth and act as a nanofertilizer. Therefore, the objective of this bioassay was to determine its effect on seed germination and on some physiological aspects in cucumber seedlings (Cucumis sativus L). nHAp concentrations of 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 mg L-1 were used, in addition to a control (distilled water). Results were analyzed using a completely randomized design with three replications per treatment. The outcomes did not reveal statistical effects for the variables plumule length and dry biomass, but regarding to radicle length, germination and vigor, the dose of 25 mg L-1 improved seedling growth, while with 200 mg L-1 an inhibitory effect was shown. The dissimilarity in results is attributed to the electrostatic attraction between nanoparticles, as it was detected that at concentrations higher than 200 mg L-1 there was a tendency to agglomerate forming microparticles, which limits their absorption by the plant due to the barriers presented by the cell walls and membranes.
