Yield characteristics of sunflower Helianthus annuus L. treated with conventional or Nano-magnesium and their combination

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 yield characteristics including the number of days required for 50% flowering, disc diameter, number of seeds per disc, fertilization rate, seed weight, and percentage of oil in the seeds.
