Fig. 4

Effect of different doses of ZnO-NPs on nutrients (NPK) uptake by wheat leaves under various stage-based drought levels. The different lower-case letters (a, b, c, d) exhibited on the bars represent statistically significant differences among the studied treatments through LSD test at 5% probability index (P ≤ 0.05). The data presented in the form of each bar is an average of three replications (n = 3). The abbreviations are as following: D0 = no drought (control), D1 = drought at tillering, D2 = drought at grain filling, ZnO-NP0 = zinc oxide nanoparticles at 0 ppm, ZnO-NP1 = zinc oxide nanoparticles at 50 ppm, ZnO-NP2 = zinc oxide nanoparticles at 100 ppm, and ZnO-NP3 = zinc oxide nanoparticles at 150 ppm.
