Evaluate Different Sources of Potassium on Carrot Plant Yield and Chemical Ingredients Grown On Sandy Soil Under Salt Stress

Abstract

Potassium (K) is an essential element, important for plant growth. A field experiment was carried out in the newly reclaimed desert area of Wadi El-Notron station, Beheira Governorate, Egypt (Longitude 28◦54′ E, Latitude 28◦20′ N, and Altitude 130 m). Carrot plants (Daucus Carota L.) It was grown in winter season 2022 and 2023. Potassium nanoparticels (K-NPs) were prepared through sub-atomic
synthetic methodology technique under tension 1.5 Mpa., They were examined using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to measure the sizes of potassium molecules. Three potassium sources, potassium 20% (K 20%) from traditional fertilizer as control treatment, potassium sulfate (K2SO4) and K-NPs were applied on carrot plants. This study aims to, evaluate the different sources of potassium (K) on carrot yield parameters (morphological and physiological) under salt stress conditions. Data showed that carrot yield and quality improved significantly with the use of K-NPs.
