Response of Some Egyptian and Iraqi Wheat Cultivars to Mineral and NanFertilization

Twofield experiments were conducted at the Experimental Farm of Faculty ofAgriculture (Saba- Basha), Abess Region, Alexandria University, Egypt, duringtwo seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 to study the response of some wheatcultivars to mineral and nano- fertilization. The experimental design wassplit- split plot system with three replicates. The main plots were occupied bythe three soil mineral fertilizer NPK treatments at therate of “100, 75, and 50%”. While,sub-plots contain three foliar application of nanofertilizer NPK fertilizertreatments “100, 75 and 50%”. Meanwhile, the four wheat cultivars “Sakha 93,Gemmeiza 11, AL-Rasheed and Abu Ghareb” are distributed at random in sub-subplots. plant height, spike length (cm), number of spikes/m2,number of spikelets /spike, number of grains/spike, 1000-grains weight (g),grain yield, straw yield (t/ha.), harvest index (HI %) and protein content wererecorded in both seasons. The obtained results revealed that fertilized wheatcultivar Sakha 93 by 75 % soil application of mineral fertilization by NPK withfoliar application of Nano- fertilizers (NPK) increased yield and itscomponents of the wheatcrop under theenvironmental conditions of Alexandria Governorate.
