With hydroponics culture, we monitored the response of the growth and nutrient accumulation of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) to five ethanol concentrations: 0 mL•L−1 (control), 0.0125 mL•L−1, 0.025 mL•L−1, 0.05 mL•L−1, and 0.25 mL•L−1, respectively. The results showed that a high concentration of exogenous ethanol (0.25 mL•L−1) significantly inhibited oilseed rape growth by 52.28%. However, the biomass of oilseed rape with a low concentration of exogenous ethanol (0.0125–0.05 mL•L−1) manipulation was raised by 16.62–44.08%. A...
