Zinc-oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and PGPR contain phosphorus- and potassium-solubilizing, nitrogen-fixing siderophore activity performing PGPR Maize (Zea mays L.)

Increase relative water content by 43%–50% and plant biomass

Utilizing rhizobacteria-infused biofertilizer alongside ZnO-NPs has the potential to be a highly efficient bioresource for enhancing the growth of maize plants in the presence of arsenic stress

Khan et al., 2022
ZnO nanoparticles in combination with Zn biofertilizer Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

With the application of ZnO-NPs and biofertilizer, there was a substantial improvement in various plant growth indicators: total length, fresh weight, dry weight, chlorophyll content, and carotenoid content increased by 14.6%, 37.5%, 40%, 30.9%, and 31.7%, respectively

Protein levels, grain yield, and zinc content in the grain experienced significant boosts, with increases of 30.7%, 8.8%, and 66.3%, respectively

The populations of total aerobic bacteria, fungi, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, and zinc-solubilizing bacteria showed remarkable growth, with increments of 99%, 34%, 31%, 166%, and 1400%, respectively

Combination of application of TiO2 nanoparticles and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Sage (Salvia officinalis L.)

In comparison to the unfertilized treatment, the combination of TiO2 and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi led to a 35% increase in dry matter yield and a 35% improvement in water usage efficiency

50% maximum allowable depletion fertilized with TiO2 + AMF exhibited the highest content of essential oil (EO) at 1.48%, the highest yield at 2.52 g/m2, and the highest concentration of cis-thujone at 35.84%, which is the primary ingredient in sage essential oil
