The interaction of nano-fertilizers with commercially important crops can be a promising solution to increase both crop yield and quality. This study investigated the effect iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) on four-week-old garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) seedlings. Iron is an essential micronutrient for plants but not always available in sufficient quantities, which lead chlorosis even plant death. seedlings were grown hydroponically, three concentrations (1 mg/L, 5 10 mg/L) NPs, alongside control group no additions. During experiment, following methods employed: measurement stem root length, spectrophotometry determine chlorophyll absorbance concentration, RAPD technique assess genotoxicity Fe3O4 NPs. demonstrated significant shoot length at all compared (p < 0.05; p 0.01). light absorption concentration levels experimental groups significantly increased 0.001). Genotoxicity analysis revealed that genotoxic impact NPs genome was only 10%, statistically insignificant level. findings suggest exhibit low have potential enhance growth content hydroponic conditions.
