Abstract
Nickel is an important and fundamental element for the growth and development of the plant. This study conducted to investigate the effect of different sized Ni nanoparticles (Ni NPs) with different concentrations on the physiological and anatomical characters of Brophyllum pinnatum seedlings. Four treatments used; 20 and 40 nm each with two concentrations; 0.20 and 0.40 ppm in four replications. Two doses of foliar application applied each after 30 days. The results showed that 40 nm/ 0.2 ppm spray had a promoter effect on plant height, shoot dry weight and chlorophyll content. While 20 nm/ 0.2 ppm act an inhibitor for all but stimulator for leaf area. Thus, adding an appropriate level of Ni NPs could improve general health, physiological growth and anatomical characters of Brophyllum pinnatum.
