To develop saffron planting in Urmia, West Azerbaijan, Iran, a split-split plot experiment based on CRBD was carried out in the Urmia University's research farm for two years (2013-14). Nanofertilizers (Fe, P, K and nofertilizer (control)) as main plots, saffron ecotypes (Mashhad, Torbat-Heydarieh, Torbat-jam, Gonabad, Ghaen and Birjand) as subplots and maternal corm weight (6, 8, 10 and 12 g) ...

Under the global water crisis, utilizing low-quality sources in agriculture for irrigation has offered an effective solution to address shortage of water. Using excess may cause serious risks environment, which threaten crop safety and human health. Three kinds (0.413, 1.44, 2.84 dS m−1) were selected under foliar-applied bio-nanofertilizers selenium (100 mg L−1) copper individual and/or combin...

The global food production for the worldwide population mainly depends on huge contributions of agricultural sector. cultivated crops foods need various elements or nutrients to complete their growth, and these are indirectly consumed by humans. During this production, several environmental constraints stresses may cause losses in production. These obstacles include abiotic biotic stresses, whi...

The Haber–Bosch process for the commercial production of ammonia demonstrated in 1913 was a watershed event in the mass production of urea, the principal nitrogen fertilizer for modern agriculture. Today, thanks to the so-called “green revolution” starting in in the 1960s, nearly half of the world population relies on increased crop yields, through the use of nitrogen fertilizers, to access aff...

Because of the limitation in arable lands and water resources, the development of agriculture sector is only possible by increasing of resources use efficiency with the minimum damage to production bed through effective use of modern technologies. Among these, nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the agricultural systems, biomedicine, environmental engineering, safety and security,...

Wheat is staple food crop for the world. Nutrient management one of important determinants yield crop. Conventional fertilizers are having several challenges in form cost, their losses environment and use efficiencies. Nanofertilizer emerging as a potential alternative to these owing small size. Nanofertilizers both macro micro nutrients have seen improvement other quality parameters nutrient c...
