Abstract
Two field experiments were conducted during 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 winter seasons in calcareous soil at the Experimental Farm of City of Scientific Researches and Technological Applications in Borg El-Arab, Alexandria, Egypt. These experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of nano and mineral fertilizers and their interaction on yield, yield components of wheat in the arid land.
Treatments were arranged in a split plot design with three replications. The main plots were designated for foliar fertilizer (Nano) treatments, while sub plot was allocated to five mineral fertilizer treatments.
Foliar fertilizer-Nano- (main plot)
Three foliar fertilizer (Nano) treatments were distributed at random within the main plots as follows:
1) Control (spray water).
2) Spray Nano fertilizer at rate 1cm3/litter at the time of 30 and 45 DAS.
3) Spray Nano fertilizer at rate 2cm3/litter at the time of 30 and 45 DAS.
Mineral fertilizer (sub plot)
1) 100% of the recommended doses of NPK fertilizer.
2) 75% of the recommended doses of NPK fertilizer.
3) 50% of the recommended doses of NPK fertilizer.
4) 25% of the recommended doses of NPK fertilizer.
5) Control (without NPK fertilizer).
Wheat grain was drilled by hand in rows 20 cm apart at the rate of 75 kg /fed on November 22nd and 23rd in the two seasons, respectively. The plot size was 10.5 m2 (3 X 3.5 m). Each plot included 15 rows. Wheat growing samples were taken at random from each sub plot at 60, 75 and 90 days after sowing (DAS). All agricultural practices for growing wheat were applied as recommended by the Ministry of Agriculture.
