| Abstract | For study effects of foliar spraying with Ascophyllum nodosum extract and nano iron chelate fertilizer on fruit yield and several attributes of eggplant, an experiment in factorial format based on randomized complete block design with three replications in Astaneh Ashrafiyeh Township (north of Iran) in 2011 was conducted. Factors of experiment was consist of Ascophyllum nodosum extract (A1: 0 g/l (control), A2: 1 g/l, A3: 2 g/l foliar spraying) and nano iron chelate fertilizer (I1: 0 g/l (control), I2: 1 g/l, I3: 2 g/l foliar spraying). In maturity time, fruit yield, number of fruits per plant, number of branches per plant, fruit length and fruit width were measured. Data analysis results showed that, the A. nodosum extract and nano iron chelate fertilizer application had significant effect on all studied traits. Also, interaction effect of A. nodosum extract and nano iron chelate showed significant differences on fruit yield, number of fruits per plant and fruit length. The highest fruit yield among A. nodosum extract levels was recorded from foliar spraying of 2 g/l with 37.89 ton/ha. Also, among nano iron chelate fertilizer treatments spraying of 2 g/l with 37.11 ton/ha was recorded the maximum amount of fruit yield. The highest fruit yield between interaction levels with 46.28 ton/ha was obtained by A3I3 level (2 g/l foliar spraying of A. nodosum extract and nano iron chelate fertilizer). |
