Table 7 Effect of soil applied CuSO4 and CuS NPs on DPPH radical scavenging, TAC, and TRP of Eruca sativa under field condition. The similar letters within the column mean no statistical difference between treatments in the LSD test (p ≤0.05).

From: Copper sulfide nanoparticles application under field condition increases Eruca sativa morpho-physiological response, yield, and biodiesel production for sustainable energy
