Effect of nano-iron chelate fertilizer on grain yield, protein percent and chlorophyll content of Faba bean (Vicia faba L.)
Abstract
In order to study the effect of time and concentration of Nano-Iron on yield and yield components of faba bean, a field experiment was conducted in Ahvaz, Iran. Experimental design was factorial based on RCB with 3 replications. First factor was 3 spraying times (i. e. spraying at vegetative, befor flowering and at flowering) and second factor was 5 Iron concentrations (i. e. control, Iron 2 g/L, Nano-Iron with 2,4 and 6 g/L). Our results showed that the highest (467.7 g/m2) and lowest (352.7 g/m2) grain yield belonged to Nano-Iron 6 g/L and control, respectively. Increasing of Nano-Iron concentration had a positive and significant effect on grain yield, protein percent and chlorophyll content.Moreover, spraying at vegetation period had the lowest effect onboth grain yield, and grain protein percent. But, spraying at different periods had not significant effect on chlorophyll content.In conclusion; the highest grain yield was obtained with spraying Nano-Iron 6 g/L during flowering period.
