To investigate the effect of nanofertilizers functionalized with two organic compounds in phosphorusreleasing and its influence on the growth parameters of bean plant, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design in 3 replicationsat the Agriculture Research Center of Hamadan in 2014. Fertilizer treatments including P0 (zeolite without functional group (control sample)), P1 (zeolite + AcAcEN ligand), P2 (zeolite + HED ligand) and P3 (triple super phosphate) and also twotypes of bean including the red beans (PhaseolusvulgarisL) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculataL.) were used. Results showed that in comparison with two other zeolite fertilizers,usingnanozeolite functionalized with HED ligandresulted in improving the quantitative and qualitativeparameters of bean. Compared with triple super phosphate, P2 fertilizer showed better results in the case of grain yield and plant phosphorus uptake and moreover, phosphorus leaching was lower in this fertilizer. The general results of this report is representative of the useful and effective role of nanozeolite functionalized with HED ligand in improving the growth parameters as well as qualitative and quantitative characteristics of bean plant.

To investigate the effects of priming and foliar spray by 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) on some of Marigold morphological, biological and biochemical traits, an experiment was conducted as factorial on completely randomized design with three replications at experimental laboratory of department of horticulture, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman in 2014. Each of priming and foliar spray of EBR had four concentrations (0, 0.1, 1 and 10 µM). Results showed that growth parameters and photosynthetic pigments increased proportional to the increment of EBR in priming and foliar spray treatments. . The greatest shoot weight (79 percent), root (33 percent), fresh (28 percent) and dry (26 percent) weights of pot marigold compared to control were obtained at priming with 0.1 µM plus foliar spray at 0.1 µM of EBR. Furthermore, the highest chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids were found at the same concentration (0.1 µM priming + 0.1 µM foliar spray of EBR) with 2.4, 3.1, 2.6 and 2.7 percent increase respectively. The EBR increased protein and reduced sugar up to (35 percent) and (18.3 percent) compared with control. The results of this experiment indicated that application of EBR can be used to improve the growth and development traits of pot marigold.
