The effect of phosphorus nanofertilizer modified with a novel organic compound on qualitative parameters of two types of beans

To investigate the effect of nanofertilizers functionalized with two organic compounds in phosphorus releasing and its influence on the growth parameters of bean plant, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design in 3 replications at the Agriculture Research Center of Hamadan. Fertilizer treatments including P0 (zeolite without functional group (control sample)), P1 (zeolite AcAcEN ligand), P2 (zeolite HED ligand) and P3 (triple super phosphate) and also two bean plant types including red beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) were used. Results showed that in comparison with two other zeolite fertilizers, using nanozeolite functionalized with HED ligand resulted in improving the quantitative and qualitative parameters of bean. Compared with triple super phosphate, P2 fertilizer showed better results in the case of grain yield and plant phosphorus uptake and moreover, phosphorus leaching was lower in this fertilizer. The general results of this report is representative of the useful and effective role of nanozeolite functionalized with HED ligand in improving the growth parameters as well as qualitative and quantitative characteristics of bean plant.
