Abstract

The research delves into how the application of TiO2 nanoparticles, synthesized through a sustainable process, influence the initial growth of quinoa seeds. This study uses detailed statistical analyzes and periodic evaluations to closely examine the germination response of seeds to the presence of these nanoparticles. The results shed light on the important role of TiO2 nanoparticles in the quinoa germination process, offering a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The green synthesis used to obtain these nanoparticles adds an eco-friendly component, highlighting the importance of sustainability in nanotechnology research. This study not only contributes to the knowledge of the interaction between nanomaterials and plant development, but also has practical implications for sustainable agriculture by providing information on how nanoparticles could be used to improve crop yield and resistance, the same as offers a comprehensive and significant vision on the impact of TiO2 NPs on the germination development of quinoa seeds.
