Nano fertilizers have become a very important approach in agriculture research nowadays. In this paper we investigate the effect of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with nitrogen on onion plants using foliar application . Chitosan-N nanoparticles were easily applied to leaf surfaces and absorbed to take pathway to plant organs, avoiding direct interaction with soil systems. The levels of chitosan N 15% (0.5, 0.1 and 1.5 gm / L) were investigated. The results revealed that nano particles. Results showed significant differences among some characters comparing with the control The application of recommended dose of chemical nitrogen surpassed all treatments of chitosan or chitosan with nitrogen in growth characters and yield and its components .It is worth to note that application of chitosan with 15% nano nitrogen gradually increased most of the growth , yield and its attributes and chemical compassion of onion plants , where the maximum dose ChN 1 achieved the maximum values of all characters and recorded the second rank after application of recommended dose of nitrogen.
The study was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2013/14 and 2014/15 at the farm of environmental studies and research institute -Sadat City University Menofiya Governorate, Egypt to study the the effect of nano particles of chitosan and chitosan with 15% nano nitrogen on growth , yield, quality of faba bean.Significant differences were found among all treatments and control, where application of recommended dose of normal nitrogen surpassed control and all other treatments and produced the maximum values of plant height, number of leaves and branches , plant fresh weight and plant dry weightThe same trend was found concerning seed yield and its attributes , where application of recommended dose of normal nitrogen produced the maximum values of all characters ie number of pods /plant, number of seeds/pod , seed index , total weight of plant , pod weight of plant , seed yield /plant and per feddan and strow yield per plant and per feddan with significant differences with control and other chitosan 15% nano nitrogen It is worthy to note that application of chitosan with 15% nano nitrogen caused increasing in all these traits reached to be near to the values of normal fertilization .Concerning the chemical composition of faba bean leaves and seeds , control recorded the lowest values of NPK composition . while fertilization with normal nitrogen with recommended dose recorded the greatest vales . Gradually increases were found doe to increasing nano nitrogen up to 1.5 g / L which achieved the second rank of most values of characters .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
