Impact of bulk and nanoparticles zinc oxide foliar application on sugar beet yield and quality under different irrigation fertilization levels

Abstract

Afield experiment was conducted at Abou El Ghar village, Kafr El Zayyat district, Gharbiya Governorate, Egypt during 20162017 and 2017-2018 seasons. The aim of this study to evaluate the influence of bulk and nanoparticles zinc oxide on growth and some biochemical characteristics of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). The experiment was laid aut using strip-plot design with three replications. zinc oxide concentrations (control, 100, 200, 300 ppm) were arranged horizontally while nitrogen fertilizer (60, 80 and 100 Kg N/fed). Was allocated vertically.
