Salinity stress can significantly cause negative impacts on the physiological and biochemical traits of plants and, consequently, a reduction in yield productivity crops. Therefore, current study aimed to investigate effects chitosan (Cs) nanoparticles (CsNPs) mitigate salinity (i.e., 25, 50, 100, 200 mM NaCl) improve pigment fractions, carbohydrates content, ions proline, hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxidation, electrolyte leakage antioxidant system Phaseolus vulgaris L. grown clay–sandy soil. Methacrylic acid was used synthesize CsNPs, with an average size 40 ± 2 nm. negatively affected traits, carbohydrate content. However, under salt stress, application either Cs or CsNPs improved yield, system, while these treatments reduced leakage.

Salinity is one of the most threatening abiotic stresses to agricultural production, alarmingly expanding both through natural salinization phenomena and anthropogenic activities in recent times. The exploration sustainable eco-friendly strategic approaches for mitigating negative impact salinity on food crops vital importance future security. Therefore, our study aimed evaluate zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) as potent mitigators maize (Zea mays L.). Three ZnO-NPs foliar treatments (i.e., 0, 50, 100 mg/L) were applied 40, 55, 70 days after sowing plants exposed continuous salinities 0 mM NaCl (S0), 60 (S1), 120 (S3) a semi-automated greenhouse facility. Results showed that highest NaCl) significantly affected plant growth attributes, physiological performance, nutrient profiles, antioxidant activity, yield, yield-contributing characteristics plants. Thus, resulted −53% number grains per cob (NG), −67% weight (GW), −36% 100-grains (HGW), −72% grain yield (GY) compared controls. However, treatment with successfully mitigated improved all studied parameters, except transpiration rate (TR) intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Foliar application mg/L alleviated NG, GW, HGW, GY by 31%, 51%, 13%, 53%, respectively. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) Pearson’s correlation further strengthened significance ZnO-NP mitigators.
