Abstract

To investigate the effects of nano-iron chelate fer tilizer and different concentration of methanol on morphological traits of sweet basil (Ocimum basilum L.), an expe riment was carried out at the Research farm of Inst itute of Medicinal Plants, ACECR. A factorial experiment bas ed on randomized complete design (RCD) with three replications was followed in this study. Results sh owed that morphological traits were significantly a ffected by different concentration of methanol and nano-iron cfertilizer. The lowest plant height was obta ined by utilization of nano-iron chelate fertilizer at 0.5 g.l -1 concentration together with methanol at 20% concen tration and application of methanol at 20% concentration lonely . Different concentrations of methanol and interact ion between nano-iron chelate fertilizer and methanol at differ ent concentrations had significant effects on numbe r of branches per plant. There wasn’t significant difference bet ween utilization of methanol at 30% and 20% concent ration in respect of leaf number and the highest leaf number was obtained by these treatments. Application of n ano-iron chelate fertilizer at 0.5, 1 and 1.5 g.l -1 concentration had similar effects on leaf number a nd the highest of leaf number was gained by these treatments. However the lowest leaf number was observed in non-application of nanoiron chelate fertilizer.
