Abstract
Field experiments were carried out in Agricultural and Experimental Research Stationinyears 2016 and 2017 to evaluate NPK nano-fertilizers application, times, methods and rates on growth, yield and fiber properties of Egyptian cotton.The experiment was laid out in a split-splitplot complete randomized block design arrangement with four replications. Treatments included two application times were applied in main plots,two application methods are foliar and soil in sub-plots and four rates applications of control (100% soil application traditional recommended NPK fertilizer dose (RFD) and nano NPK fertilizers 12.5%, 25% and 50% RFD) were applied in sub-sub-plots. Results indicated that three times application of NPK nano-fertilizers significant (p ≤0.05) increases of plant height, sympodial branches, total and open bolls per plant, boll weight andseed cotton yield than two times.Foliar nano-fertilizers application of these traits recorded higher values at the previous parameters than soil application.In the most of studied parameters nano-fertilizers at 50% RFD recorded values statistically at par with control traditional (100% RFD). Also, treatments of 12.5% at par with 25% NPK nano-fertilizers. Interactions between thestudied three factors were insignificantin studied parameters except lint%. Whereas, the highest values of previous traits were obtained from plots treated with 50% RFD nano NPK with split 3 times and applied by foliar application in most cases.
Keywords: Cotton, Gossypiumbarbadense L, NPK nano-fertilizers, nano-phosphorus, nano-nitrogen, nano-potassium, seed cotton yield, fertilizes foliar and soil application, cotton fiber quality.
