In the present study, we investigated the effects of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) at physiological and biochemical levels as well as the impacts on peanut yield and quality. Peanuts were cultivated in sandy soil amended with different doses of Ag NPs (50, 500, and 20...
