Influence of different metal-organic frameworks on agronomic traits of faba bean plants.

ABSTRACT: Micronutrient deficiencies in soil can significantly hinder plant growth and reduce crop production; therefore, foliar application of these micronutrients to plants becomes effective. Although metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are frequently used in gas storage, adsorption, and catalysis, their application in agriculture has been rather uncommon. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how the growth parameters of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) plants were affected by nickel (Ni²⁺), chromium (Cr³⁺), cobalt (Co²⁺), and copper (Cu²⁺) MOFs. Using spectroscopic analysis, frameworks for Ni-BTC, Cr-BTC, Co-BTC, and Cu-BTC were described. These frameworks' effects on the faba plants' physiological stress indices, leaf chlorophyll and phenolic contents, fres
