Abstract:
Comparative study between commercial and Nano-fertilizers on Moringa plant
chemical constituents.
Since Moringa (Moringaoleifera) tree is called the miracle tree due to the many
benefits and various applications, The present study was done to explore the effect of
mixed synthesis nano elements symbolized in Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe) and zinc
(Zn) against commercial mixed fertilizers; Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and
Potassium (K) as control on Moringa plant growing in clay soil at faculty of
agriculture Cairo University. Results of the experiment exposed that, appliance of
nano fertilizers as (Mn Fe, and Zn) significantly improved all morphological traits as
(branch height, leaf area, number of leaves, branch girth, leaves fresh and dry weight)
additionally to macro and micro elements represented in (N, P, K, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe,
Zn, Mn, Cu), also chemical ingredients as (total chlorophyll, total carbohydrate, total
phenolic, total flavonoids,thiamine, tannins andascorbic acid). Our results draw
attention to the meaning of protection our environment from overload use and
addition of chemical fertilizers. Further developments in using such safety nano
nutrients in this sector could have large-scale economic implications and multiple
benefits for consumers, producers, farmers, and the ecosystem.
