Abstract :

This study was performed to evaluation of nano chelated nitrogen and urea fertilizers on wheat plant under drought stress condition. Experimental design was performed as split-split plot in RCBD design in two locations, Nasrabad and Kodiyan in Fars province. The first factor included irrigation treatments (normal and withholding irrigation at flowering stage), sub factor was Urea fertilizer treatment (0, 37, 74 and 110 kg nitrogen .ha-1), and sub-sub factor was nano chelated nitrogen fertilizer (0, 14, 27 and 41 kg nitrogen.ha-1).According to analysis of variances, stress, nitrogen (urea) and nano chelated nitrogen had significant effects on all studied traits. According to mean comparisons, drought stress led to 51% reduction in seed yield compared to normal irrigation. Application of urea 37, 74 and 110 kg nitrogen.ha-1 led to 9, 19 and 27% increase in seed yield compared to control, respectively. Application of 14, 27 and 41 kg nitrogen.ha-1 from nano fertilizer led to 31, 44 and 98% increase in seed yield compared to control, respectively. In interaction between stress, urea and nano fertilizer on seed yield, was found that at normal and stress condition the highest mean of seed yield (7591 and 4091 kg.ha-1) was obtained by 110 kg.ha-1 urea and 41 kg.ha-1 nano fertilizer.
