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.
