| Abstract | ||
| A factorial experiment was carried out using Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with two factors and three replicates. The first factor was compound fertilizer with three levels symbolized by B0, B1, B2, (300, 200, 0 kg ha).-1) The second factor is nano fertilizer with four levels and is symbolized by (C0, C1, C2, C3) (3, 2, 1, 0 g/L)-1. The averages of the treatments were compared according to Duncan’s test at a probability level of 0.05. Each treatment was repeated three times and the results showed the following: -1 The compound fertilizer (B2) was significantly superior to treatments B0 and B1 in most of the vegetative growth and yield characteristics, as it gave an average leaf area of 119.04 cm.2.paper-1The total chlorophyll content of the leaves is 47.3908 mg/100 g.-1The percentage of nutrients in the fruits was 1.7508% nitrogen, 0.3850% phosphorus, and 3.0383% potassium. 2- The C3 nano fertilizer treatment significantly outperformed the percentage of nutrients in the fruits, as the nitrogen percentage reached 1.7733%, the phosphorus percentage reached 0.4700%, and the potassium percentage reached 2.8267%. 3- The interaction between compound fertilizer and nano fertilizer in treatment B2C3 was significantly superior to all treatments in all quantitative yield characteristics, as the percentage of nitrogen in the fruits reached 2.0300%, the percentage of phosphorus reached 0.4700%, and the percentage of potassium reached 3.7233%. | ||
