Abstract
Application of nanofertilizers is one of the promising methods for increasing re- sources use efficiency and reducing environmental pollutions. Uncontrolled application of chemi- cal fertilizer and pesticides has caused many problems to human health and domestic animals. Nanofertilizers application could be a suitable way to reduce these problems. Accordingly, in order to assess the silicon nanoparticles effect on some vegetative features of basil under salinity stress, a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications was con- ducted in greenhouse condition. Treatments included different levels of silicon fertilizer (without silicon, normal silicon fertilizer and silicon nanoparticles) and salinity stress (1, 3 and 6 ds/m). Physiological traits (chlorophyll and proline content of leaves) and morphological traits (shoot fresh weight and dry weight) were investigated in this study. Results showed a significant reduc- tion in growth and development indices due to the salinity stress. Leaf dry and fresh weight re- duced by increment in NaCl concentration while significantly (P≤0.01) increased with silicon na- noparticles application. The chlorophyll content reduced in salinity stress, but increased by silicon nanoparticles treatment. Proline content increased under salinity stress which was a response to stress. Moreover, proline increased by silicon nanoparticles which was due to tolerance induction in plant. Silicon nanoparticles application reduced the pollution effects originated from salinity in
