Abstract

The effectiveness of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles on Zn uptake and some growth indices of wheat

Background and Objectives: Micronutrient deficiency like Zinc is one of the common problems in worldwide soils especially calcareous soils. Therefore, application of new methods including Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles is increasing to improve of nutritional status of this element in crops. Many studies showed that ZnO Nanoparticles application lead to increase of plant yield. Thus, present study was conducted to investigate of ZnO Nanoparticles effects on yield, concentration and uptake of Zn in root, shoot and grain of wheat under greenhouse cultivation in a calcareous soil.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in greenhouse condition as a randomized complete design with three replications. Treatment consisted of three levels of Zinc Nanoparticles (100, 200 and 300 mg.kg-1), ZnSO4 (40 kg.ha-1) and Control. During the experiment, some parameters such as plant height and chlorophyll index were measured. At the end of cultivation period, dry weight and Zn concentration of root, shoot and grain was determined using Atomic absorption. As well as,pH and soil available zinc was measured using DTPA extraction.
Results: The amount of soil available Zn in all levels of ZnO Nanoparticles was significantly (p < 0.01) increased compared to control. The maximum amount of soil available Zn was observed in level of 300 mg.kg-1 ZnO Nanoparticles with 52.73% increment compared to control. The sequence of shoot and root yield, concentration and uptake of Zn in treatments was as follow: ZnSO4 < ZnO NP100 < ZnO NP200 < ZnO NP300. The maximum yield of root, shoot and grain was obtained in level of 300 mg.kg-1 of ZnO Nanoparticles with 43.02, 24.91 and 37.08% increment compared to control, respectively. The maximum concentration of Zn was observed in root and shoot in level of 300 mg.kg-1 of ZnO Nanoparticles with 62.11 and 111.19% increment compared to control, respectively. As well as, maximum concentration and uptake of Zn of grain was observed in level of 300 mg.kg-1 of ZnO Nanoparticles.
Conclusions: The results showed that application of ZnO Nanoparticles was increased yield, concentration and uptake of Zn in root and shoot of Wheat. Therefore, application of nanoparticles can be considered as one of the new methods for improving the yield and quality of crops and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. The results showed that application of ZnO Nanoparticles was increased yield, concentration and uptake of Zn in root and shoot of Wheat.
