Abstract

An experiment was conducted at the Grain Crop Technology Laboratory, Department of Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Omar Al-Mukhtar University during the 2023 season using a completely randomized design to evaluate the effect of Nano-phosphorus spraying on growth indicators of four soybean cultivars (Glycine max L.) at a concentration of 1 cm/L from a one molar solution. Seeds were planted in 3 kg pots with 10 seeds per pot and three replicates per treatment.

Results showed significant improvement in growth traits due to Nano-phosphorus treatment, which recorded the highest values for plant height (23.287 cm), root length (6.84 cm), plant weight (4.525 g), crop growth rate (0.3060 g/day), leaf area (3436 mm²), number of leaves (6.00 leaves/plant), and total chlorophyll content (1.191 mg/g tissue) compared with the control treatment.

The Land cultivar showed superiority in plant height (20.425 cm), leaf area (2868 mm²), and chlorophyll content (1.106 mg/g tissue), while Giza 111 recorded the highest plant weight (4.525 g), root length (6.22 cm), and crop growth rate (0.3429 g/day).
