The variance in growth and yield Sorghum bicolor L. Moench genotypes under different foliar nano fertilizers

Abstract

"A field experiment carried out in 2017 in Qurna district Al-Basra governorate in alluvial clay soil at a line of 47.27 degrees east and latitude 30.56 degrees north, with the aim of finding out the effect of foliar varieties of Nanofertilizer on the growth characteristics and yield of three varieties of the Sorghum. The results showed that the varieties differed significantly among them in most of traits, as the Alkhir variety out performed the yield components, which led to it being given the highest grain yield of 5.740 tons ha-1 and the highest protein yield of 0.608 tons. ha-1 , and the results also showed the superiority of foliar with fertilizer. The nanoparticles of the both elements together are zinc and copper in the growth characteristics (161 cm, 3465 cm2) and the components of the yield (1713 grains, head-1 30.95 g), which was reflected in the grain yield, which gave the highest grain yield of 5.9 tons. ha-1 compared to the treatment of adding each element alone and the treatment of non The addition, while the significant overlap between the quality of the nanoparticle and the varieties affected some growth characteristics, grain yields and protein, as the combination (good x addition of the two elements together) gave the highest grain and protein yield, reaching 6.77 tons. ha-1 and 0.753 tons. Respectively."
