Nano-silicon foliar application (0.5 ppm) after 20, 28, 36 days from transplanting also mitigate...
Drought stress in arid regions is a serious factor affecting yield quantity and quality of economic crops. Under drought conditions, the application nano-elements nano-agents water retention improved use efficiency, growth performance, drought-stressed plants. For this objective, two field experiments were performed organized as randomized complete block designs with six replications. The treatments included kaolin (5 t. ha
Frequent applications of synthetic insecticides might cause environmental pollution due to the high residue. In addition, increasing insecticide resistance in many insect pests requires novel pest control methods. Nanotechnology could be a promising field modern agriculture, and is receiving considerable attention development nano-agrochemicals, such as nanoinsectticides nanofertilizers. This study assessed effects lethal sublethal concentrations chlorantraniliprole, thiocyclam, their...
Nano-fertilizers are a new tool that can be used to address plant production challenges, and it addresses such nutrient deficiencies through smart agriculture approaches. Iron (Fe) is vital element for several metabolic physiological processes; however, Fe deficiency common in poorly fertile soils (sand soil) arid areas. Therefore, additional research required select the most efficient form of iron absorbance. This was implemented on broad bean plants (Vicia faba L. var. major Harz) examine...
Abstract The lucrative approach of nanotechnology and it´s utilizing in the agricultural sector is prospective. Based on this fact a field trial was done through 2018 2019 seasons to scrutinize consequence nano N, P K elements application individual or combination zeolite loaded nitrogen not sage plant grown under water stress compared commercial NPK fertilisers at new reclaimed land. Nano were prepared from their precursor as potassium persulfate (K 2 S O 8 ), calcium phosphate (Ca (H PO 4...
Global climatic change leads to many detrimental effects on all life forms. Outstanding case, salinity, and drought are considered multidimensional stress that severely affect plant growth sustainable agriculture. Thymus vulgaris is a medicinal has phytochemical constituents, it threatened by several abiotic stresses caused climate change. Therefore, the present study aims evaluate physiological response thyme tolerance grown newlyreclaimed saline sandy soil under conditions treated...
Abstract Profitable prospective of rocket plant is progressively growing recently. Hence an experiment was conducted in open field to evaluate the effect chicken manure, nano iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and combination them on morphological, fresh weight seed yield, photosynthetic rate, transpiration water use efficiency chemicals constituents represented macro micro elements, pigments, total phenolics, carbohydrate, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, crude protein, fatty acids, indole...
Foliar application of micronutrients has become a common farm management practice to increase the overall yield various crops. However, effects foliar fertilization on shelf life and postharvest quality crops are rather under-researched. The aim this field experiment was evaluate effect individual mineral nutrients (calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) pre broccoli. broccoli plants were subjected single sprays either Ca, Fe, Zn, or Mn, which repeated four times during plant...
Abstract Salicylic acid (SA) and spermine (SPM) elicit particular responses in response to various environmental stressors.
