Abstract

Two
field experiments were conducted at the Experimental Farm of Faculty of
Agriculture (Saba- Basha), Abess Region, Alexandria University, Egypt, during
two seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 to study the response of some wheat
cultivars to mineral and nano- fertilization. The experimental design was
split- split plot system with three replicates. The main plots were occupied by
the three soil mineral fertilizer NPK treatments at the
rate of “100, 75, and 50%”. While,
sub-plots contain three foliar application of nanofertilizer NPK fertilizer
treatments “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 were
recorded in both seasons. The obtained results revealed that fertilized wheat
cultivar Sakha 93 by 75 % soil application of mineral fertilization by NPK with
foliar application of Nano- fertilizers (NPK) increased yield and its
components of the wheatcrop under the
environmental conditions of Alexandria Governorate.
