Impact of Organic Nano-Fertilizer on Growth Parameters of Coleus scutellarioides under the Conditions of Kirkuk, Iraq

Abstract

From December 15, 2023, to March 15, 2024, this current study evaluated the power 1310 nanofertilizer, on the growth of Coleus scutellarioides under controlled conditions at the College of Agriculture, University of Kirkuk, Iraq. A randomized complete block design with three replicates were used with totaling 45 treated plants, 5 ml of power 1310 per liter during irrigation water was applied
each month. A control group of 15 plants treated with water. Plant height, leaf number, and branch number were tracked before and after application. The results were striking treated plants shot up from 6.56 cm to 13.76 cm (a 109.76% jump), leaf counts soared from 5.62 to 18.29 (225.44%), and branches edged up from 1.00 to 1.38 (38.00%), all significant at p < 0.05. The control plants were increased, but modestly and the plant height ranged from 6.53 cm to 8.20 cm (25.57%), leaves numbers from 5.67 to 7.20 (26.98%), and number of branches ranged from 1.00 to 1.13 (13.00%). These results demonstrated that power 1310’s showed high impact, positioning it as a promising tool for sustainable ornamental gardening in tough Shoraw environments like Kirkuk region.
