Popis: The influence of ZnO and Pt nanoparticles’ suspensions (5 mg/kg of soil) on the yielding capacity and fruit quality of Cucumissativus L. was studied. We found out that the soil amended with ZnO nanoparticle suspension enhanced cucumber yielding capacity by 36 %, and the fruits had more carotene, zinc and iron compared to the control. The soil amended with Pt nanoparticles did not influence cucumber yielding capacity, and the fruits contained more carotene and zinc. ICP-MS results showed that nanoparticles’ influence at the concentration under study did not result in accumulation of ZnO and Pt nanoparticles in fruits.
