Response of Growth and Yield of Cucumber Plants (Cucumis sativus L.) to Different Foliar Applications of Nano- Iron and Zinc
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
In order to investigate effect of different concentrations of Iron and zinc chelate nano fertilizer on growth and performance of Cucumis sativus L., an experiment was performed as a design of completely randomized blocks. Nano-Iron and zinc fertilizers (1.5, 2 and 2.5 per 1000) were applied as foliar sprays. In general, results indicated that Iron and zinc chelate nano at 2 (per 1000) concentration significantly influenced on number fruit, chlorophyll content, super oxide dismutase and micro-element. The highest number fruit and flower, chlorophyll and SOD content were obtained at 2 (per 1000) Iron and 2.5 (per 1000) Zn concentration. As a result, this study suggested that the foliar applications of liquid fertilizer could improve the plant growth and yield of cucumbers.
