Abstract

Nanomaterials such as copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are of utmost importance due to their applications in very diverse aspects, such as in agriculture, in which they allow the increase in the organoleptic characteristics of the edible part of the plant. The present work evaluated different concentrations of CuO NPs to show their effect on yield, fruit quality, bioactive quality, and Cu concentration in watermelon fruits. Six treatments of CuO NPs (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 mg L-1) were evaluated. The results showed that the foliar application of CuO NPs does not affect yield; nevertheless, at high concentrations, fruit quality, bioactive quality, and Cu content increase, obtaining better results with the 250 mg L-1 treatment. Therefore, nanobiofortification with CuO NPs resulted in better-quality watermelon fruits due to the accumulation of bioactive compounds.
