Tomatoes in Salty Soils_02 (IMAGE)
Caption
Nusrat Easmin, a doctoral student in environmental science and engineering at The University of Texas at El Paso, was part of the research team behind a study that found a low-dose leaf spray combining manganese oxide nanoparticles and chitosan could give farmers around the world a practical new tool to keep growing tomatoes on land that salt has rendered increasingly unproductive. Hamidreza Sharifan, Ph.D. (not pictured), an assistant professor of chemistry at UTEP, served as the corresponding author of the study.
