The Effect of Some Nanoparticles Fertilizers on the Chemical Characteristics of Growing Ruta graveolens L. Plant in invivo

Abstract

The studies included tow experiments, the laboratory and the field experiment, for the period from 7/10/2018 to 1/4/2019, to study the effect of some nanoparticles fertilizers in growth of Ruta graveolens L. invivo, The laboratory experiment was performed in the laboratories of College of Education for Pure Science / University of Diyala, nanoparticles identified by chemical and physical methods, included measurement of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X- ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Scaning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results showed that the average granular size of ZnO and CuO was 32.52 and 23.48 nm respectively. The field experiment carried out in the field belong to house garden. The experiments was designed using a completely randomized design (CRD), each treatment replicated five times for field experiment and five samples for each treatment, this experiment included seven different treatment, control treatment (without Zno and CuO nanoparticles), 25 mg/l ZnO, 50 mg/l ZnO, 25 mg/l CuO, 50 mg/l CuO, 12.5+12.5 mg/l ZnO+ CuO, 25+25 mg/l ZnO+ CuO. The comparison between the mean of the treatment was done using Duncan at 0.05 level of significance. the results showed that zinc oxide and copper oxide granular size of 32.52 and 23.48 nm, as it was diagnosed using the technique of diffraction X-Ray and the use of the Debye – Scherrer equation. as well as that the prepared material of ZnO and CuO is pure material has been diagnosed using the Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). Use of ZnO + CuO 25 + 25 mg.l^-1 concentration caused significantly influenced in the leaves content of chlorophyll and at a rate of 2.96 SPAD unit compared with the control treatment which gave a rate of 1.77 SPAD unit. and the same treatment caused an increase in the percentage of protein at rate of 13.62% and at rate of 17.87% for carbohydrates While the control treatment gave a percentage of 12.40% for protein and 13.18% for carbohydrates. While the treatment 12.5+12.5 mg/l ZnO+ CuO showed an increased in the leaves content of Auxin at a rate of 9.93 mg/kg compared with the control treatment which gave a rate of 8.40 mg/kg.
