Fig. 10From: Salicylic acid functionalized zein for improving plant stress resistance and as a nanopesticide carrier with enhanced anti-photolysis abilityInteractions between the sample and leaf surface. A Retention mass of EB aqueous dispersion in water, EB@AM-zein, and EB@AM-zein-SA on cucumber leaves, B Simulation of the retention rates of EB aqueous dispersion, EB@AM-zein, and EB@ AM-zein-SA on cucumber leaves were after erosion by rain. C Contact angles of EB aqueous dispersion, EB@AM-zein, and EB@AM-zein-SA on cucumber leaves. The experimental data were measured three replicates; a statistically significant difference between treatments compared with control is indicated by different small alphabets (a, b). Error bars indicate the least considerable value (LSD) at p ≤ 0.05 among the treatmentsBack to article page
