Abstract

This study focused on synthesis of Nd2O3/SiO2 material and its applications as plant stimulant for Paramignya trimera (Oliv.) Guill. (Rutaceae). A solid-phase heating method was used to successfully synthesize Nd2O3/SiO2 material from Nd(NO3)3 and SiO2 precursors. The cultivation results indicated the potential application of the synthesized Nd2O3/SiO2 material as plant stimulants to induce root growth of Paramignya trimera as compared to the control, SiO2 and Nd2O3 exposed plants. Root length of the control, SiO­2, Nd2O3 and Nd2O3/SiO2 exposed Paramignya trimera were 12.11, 15.12, 17.56 và 26.12 cm, respectively. Silica is a nutrient that promotes growth, increases crop output by assisting in the formation and regeneration of plant cell walls. Nd2O3 increased the seedling and root growth. Combining both SiO2 and Nd2O3 exhibited synergic effects to greatly induce root growth of the Paramignya trimera. The root length of the Nd2O3/SiO2 material exposed plant were greatly higher than those of the individual material exposed plants.

Keywords: Nd2O3/SiO2, Paramignya trimera, root, growth.
