The objective was to study the effect of two levels of fertilization (conventional NPK fertilizer and nano-fertilizer) on the growth, yield, and quality of five Safflower genotypes (Gilla, MUJ-36, MUJ-38, MUJ-7, MUJ-2). The experiment was laid out using a split-plot design with three replications according to a randomized complete block design (R.C.B.D). The results revealed significant differences between fertilizer levels, with conventional NPK fertilizer outperforming in branch number, while nano-fertilizer excelled in chlorophyll content (76.15 SPAD), number of disks per plant (35.88 disks\/plant), disk diameter (2.41 cm), number of seeds per disk (35.74 seeds\/disk), 1000-seed weight (38.05 g), seed yield (280.02 g\/m2), and oil percentage in seeds (38.05%). Fertilizer levels did not significantly affect plant height. Significant differences were observed among genotypes, with MUJ-2 genotype significantly excelling in leaf chlorophyll content (92.63 SPAD), and MUJ-36 and MUJ-7 genotypes excelling in branch number (25.29 and 25.37 branches\/plant, respectively). Gilla genotype excelled in the remaining studied traits. There was a significant interaction between fertilization and genotypes in all studied traits, and the highest seed and oil yield (370.96 g\/m2 and 43.68%, respectively) were obtained from the interaction of nano-fertilizer with Gilla genotype.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Nano-fertilization, NPK, Safflower Genotypes, Yield, Safflower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 17px;\">Full paper in Arabic:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v11n4p24.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marwan Rahman Al-Jobury*(1)and Waleed Khalid Al-Juheishy(1) (1).
