Abstract

Abstract : Graphene oxide (GO) can adsorb water molecules in humidified/water conditions through its oxygenated functional groups. This interesting property of GO has been employed to grow tomato plants in limited water-supply conditions. Abstract : Herein, we have demonstrated the potential of graphene oxide (GO) in the plantation process. In a typical case study, two sets of tomato plants were allowed to grow with and without GO in the surrounding environment. The current results suggested the possibilities of GO-aided plantation under a limited supply of water.
