Rice growth on lunar regolith simulant with N₂O₅ dissolved water. Compared with the water-only control, plants treated with the N₂O₅ solution exhibited markedly enhanced growth three months after sowing. Furthermore, heading was observed four months after sowing, indicating that the N₂O₅ solution is effective as a nitrogen fertilizer.
