Abstract:

Maize (Zea mays L) is the third most important cereal after wheat and rice all over the world as well as in Pakistan. Maize is grown on an area of 9622000 ha with an annual average production and yield of 1665000 tones and 1730 Kg ha-1, respectively. Nanotechnology with materials having unique properties has promised applications in various fields. It has provided new solutions to problems in plants and food science (post-harvestproducts) and offers novel approaches to the rational selection of raw materials, the processing of such towards applying disease control molecules, slow-release pesticides and developing diagnostic tools. The experiment was conducted at the research Station in sohrabad khash (In Iran). The field experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with split plot design with three replications. Analysis of variance showed that the effect of times of foliar on grain yield was significant. Analysis of variance showed that the effect of concentration of ironon all characteristics was significant.
