In recent years, the development of nanotechnology and the results of many researches in this field have shown that it contributes significantly to germination, growth, development and product yield of plants. In addition, nanoparticle applications have been shown to positively affect cell structure and cell function on physiological and biochemical mechanisms in the regulation of adverse effects caused by various environmental stresses. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticle were applied to the seeds of sugar beet (Bernache) variety and the effects of changes in germination, weight and length measurements in radicle and plumule were investigated. It was determined that the seeds responded differently to both nanoparticle. In our study, copper oxide pretreatment caused an increase in radicle and plumula length. In terms of weights, it was observed that copper oxide 1800 mg/l application caused a significant increase in shoot and root wet weight. As a result, it was determined that copper oxide 1800 mg/l pretreatment had a positive effect on all parameters examined.
