Abstract

This experiment was conducted in the Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf nursery / Al-Hanana neighborhood to study the effect of conventional magnesium and nano-magnesium fertilizer and their interactions in improving yield characteristics of sunflower Helianthus annuus L. The results of the experiment showed a significant improvement in the studied plant growth characteristics including plant height (cm), leaf area (cm2), No. of leaf/plant, shoot fresh and dry weight (g), plant content of total chlorophyll.
