Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of coated nanosilicon oxide with humic acid (coHA-nSi) on yield, ion composition and salt tolerance of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) in 2017-2018. The experiment was performed in the form of split-plot based on Randomized Complete Block Design with four replicates under greenhouse condition. The main plot was salinity levels including 2 (control), 3.5 and 5 dS/m. The sub plots was SiO2-nanoparticles including Control (without nanosilicon oxide), uncoated nanosilicon oxide (0.5 g/l) and coated nanosilicon oxide (0.5 g/l) which were applied in multi leave stage (15 days after planting) and flowering stages (50 days after planting). The results demonstrated that the salinity stress decreased yield and its compouents significantly. The application of coated nano silicon oxide increased significantly the seed weight (18.9%) and biomass dry weight (8.9%), dry root weight (23.7), number of capsules (24%) and number of seed (15.9%), harvest index (10.5%) and relative leaf moisture content (20.7%) and decreased significantly the ionic leakage (IL, 18.1%) compared to the uncoated nanoparticles. Also, it increased the uptake of leaf nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and calcium. Therefore, it is concluded that the silicon nanooxide coated with humic acid could increase the effect of this nanoparticle on salinity tolerance indices, quantitative and qualitative traits of black seed under saline conditions.
