Abstract
. This study was carried out in a private orchard located in Biala, Kafr El-Sheikh governorate, Egypt to investigate the effect of Nano-fertilizers versus chemical fertilizers on the growth and productivity of Valencia orange. Two rates of Nano-fertilizers (11.45 and 19.8 g/tree) were applied to the soil, foliar, or mixed, resulting in six treatments, with chemical fertilizers (0.55, 0.12, 0.46 Kg of N, P 2 O 5 , and K 2 O/tree/year, respectively) serving as the control. When compared to the control, Nano-fertilizer treatments increased tree canopy volume, leaf area, chlorophyll and nutrient contents, yield, and fruit quality. T7 (19.8 g/tree- half soil and half foliar application) produced consistent results in both seasons of the study, recording the highest canopy volume, leaf area, chlorophyll and nutrient content, yield, and fruit quality, which included vitamin C and TSS. Nano-foliar application was found to be more effective than soil application.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes original research papers and review articles. Researchers from all countries are invited to publish pure or applied ecological, environmental, biogeographical, zoological, botanical, paleontological, biometrical-biomathematical and quantitative ecological or multidisciplinary agricultural research of international interest on its pages.
The focus is on topics such as:
-Community, ecosystem and global ecology-
Biometrics, theoretical- and quantitative ecology-
Multidisciplinary agricultural and environmental research-
Sustainable and organic agriculture, natural resource management-
Ecological methodology, monitoring and modeling-
Biodiversity and ecosystem research, microbiology, botany and zoology-
Biostatistics and modeling in epidemiology, public health and veterinary-
Earth history, paleontology, extinctions, biogeography, biogeochemistry-
Conservation biology, environmental protection-
Ecological economics, natural capital and ecosystem services-
Climatology, meteorology, climate change, climate-ecology.
The Journal publishes theoretical papers as well as application-oriented contributions and practical case studies. There is no bias with regard to taxon or geographical area. Purely descriptive papers (like only taxonomic lists) will not be accepted for publication.
