Spinach (Spinacia
oleracea) belongs to family Amaranthaceae and is one of the important and
nutritious leafy vegetable consumed in India.
The pot
culture experiment is carried out during 2014-15 to study the effect of
nanozinc oxide particles on the leaf physical and nutritional traits of
spinach. The spinach plants were sprayed with graded concentration of zinc
oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) after 14 days of sowing.
The leaf physical
parameters like leaf length, leaf width and leaf surface area are recorded at
the time of maturity (45-50 days). The protein, carbohydrate, fat and dietary
fiber content in leaf samples are determined.
