Fundamental and quantitative understanding of the interactions between nanoparticles and plant leaves is crucial for advancing the field of nanoenabled agriculture. Herein, we systematically investigated and modeled how ζ potential (−52.3 mV to +36.6 mV) and hydrodynamic size (1.7–18 nm) of hydrophi...
