Abstract

This study was conducted in scientific agricultural research center in Homs (Natural Research Department) during the last season 2020, in order to  compare the effect of adding magnesium oxide(MgO) fertilizer,  in nano and mineral form, in some productive  traits of Zea mays.L (Var Gouta 82), where four levels of magnesium oxide fertilizer(0، 50، 100، 150) % of the recommendation attached of the fertilizer bottle, which added in foliar way with the concentration(0, 1, 2 3)g/lit respectively for the studied levels, in tow form: Nano (N0, N1, N2, N3) and mineral (M0, M1, M2, M3)form, the treatments were replicated in three replications,   the results that were reached gave the following: a clear significant increase in the productive  properties(length of corncob, number of rows in corncob, weight of grains in corncob, weight of the corncob in plant)  at the treatment 2g/lit(100%)  with clear significant when spraying nano magnesium oxide over than mineral form by (33.95, 15.91, 56.60, 93.82)% compared with the blank respectively for the studied indicators, also the results showed the responding of the pope corn plant (Var Gouta 82) in productivity (ton/ha) when spraying foliar nano fertilizer magnesium oxide(MgO) over than mineral by percent(30.4)%.
