Abstract :

Today, the use of biofertilizers and nanofertilizers in agriculture, It can be a suitable alternative to chemical fertilizers. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of superabsorbents, mycorrhizal fungi and nano-phosphorus fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Ehsan wheat cultivar. In order to evaluate the effect of superabsorbents, mycorrhiza fungi and nano-phosphorus fertilizer on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Ehsan wheat cultivar, a factorial experiment was carried out in the form of a randomized complete block design with three replications in Baye Kola Agricultural Research Station affiliate to Mazandaran province Agriculture Research Center. Factors tested include nano-phosphorus fertilizer in two levels, application of mycorrhizal fungi in four levels (application of mycorrhizal fungi of Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices and a mixture of two fungi), application of superabsorbent in four levels (application of zeolite, stacosorb and combination Two types of superabsorbents) were performed. The results of two-year composite data analysis of shows that by using mycorrhiza and superabsorbent attributes such as chlorophyll content in the steam stage, fresh weight of spikes, dry weight of spikes, the grain phosphorus percentage and the grain potash percentage became significant at the level of one percent. By consuming of mycorrhizal fungi, characteristics such as number of seeds per spike and grain yield became significant at the level of one percent, that the highest grain yield among the different levels of mycorrhiza related to G.intraradices treatment with 6777/25 kg/ha and the least amount of it belongs to the control treatment with 6061/49 kg/ha. The results showed that the use of superabsorbents and microrrizal fungi had a significant effect on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Ehsan wheat cultivar.
