چکیده
رازیانه از گیاهان ارزشمند دارویی خانواده چتریان با مصارف متعدد دارویی و غذایی می‌باشد. پژوهش حاضر به منظور بررسی اثرات زمان و سطوح مختلف محلول‌پاشی نانوذرات پتاسیم بر خصوصیات رشدی و اسانس رازیانه طی دو سال زراعی 1401-1400 و 1402-1401، به صورت آزمایش فاکتوریل در قالب طرح پایه بلوک‌های کامل تصادفی در سه تکرار در شهرستان رزن استان همدان انجام شد. زمان محلول‌پاشی در سه مرحله ساقه‌دهی، گل‌دهی و میوه‌دهی؛ و غلظت‌های مختلف نانو کود پتاسیم با ترکیب نانو اکسید پتاسیم در پنج غلظت شامل عدم محلول‌پاشی (شاهد)، 2، 3، 4 و 5 در هزار بودند. نتایج نشان داد که محلول پاشی در مرحله ساقه‌دهی با غلظت 3 در هزار از نانو کود پتاسیم بیشترین اثر مثبت بر افزایش ارتفاع بوته، عملکرد زیست‌توده، عملکرد دانه، وزن هزار دانه، تعداد چتر در بوته، کربوهیدرات دانه، میزان کلروفیل a، b و کل را داشت. بیشترین افزایش صفات رشد رازیانه مربوط به عملکرد دانه بود. اگر چه بیشترین درصد اسانس دانه (37/4 درصد) در تیمار 5 در هزار نانو کود پتاسیم، و بیشترین عملکرد اسانس دانه (5/69 کیلوگرم در هکتار) در تیمار 4 در هزار نانو کود پتاسیم در مرحله میوه‌دهی به دست آمد. نتایج این پژوهش تایید می‌کند که برای بهبود صفات کیفی رازیانه با محلول پاشی نانو کود پتاسیم، بهترین زمان مرحله میودهی است. با توجه به هدف تولید می‌توان غلظت محلول‌پاشی را تعیین کرد. از آنجا که ارزش گیاهان دارویی بیشتر به تولید عملکرد اسانس مرتبط است، به منظور دستیابی به حداکثر عملکرد اسانس دانه محلول‌پاشی در غلظت 4 در هزار نانو کود پتاسیم در مرحله میوه‌دهی پیشنهاد می‌شود.

چکیده [English]
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), a valuable medicinal plant belonging to the Apiaceae family, has been widely recognized for its medicinal and culinary uses. Its essential oils and bioactive compounds, such as anethole, fenchone, and estragole, have made it a significant crop in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Fennel is not only prized for its aromatic seeds and leaves but also for its therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects. Given the increasing global demand for high-quality medicinal plants, optimizing cultivation practices to enhance growth, yield, and essential oil production is crucial. Traditional agricultural practices often face challenges such as nutrient inefficiency, environmental degradation, and resource depletion, which can limit the productivity and sustainability of medicinal plant cultivation. In this context, nanotechnology, particularly the use of nanofertilizers, has emerged as a promising approach to improve nutrient efficiency and plant performance. Nanofertilizers offer several advantages over conventional fertilizers, including enhanced nutrient uptake, reduced application rates, and minimized environmental impact. This study aimed to investigate the effects of foliar application timing and varying concentrations of potassium nanoparticles on the growth characteristics and essential oil yield of fennel over two cropping years (2021-2022 and 2022-2023). By exploring the potential of nanotechnology in fennel cultivation, this research seeks to contribute to the development of sustainable agricultural practices that can meet the growing demand for medicinal plants while preserving environmental health.
Materials and Method: The experiment was conducted as a factorial design in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The factors included foliar application timing at three growth stages: stem formation, flowering, and fruiting; and nano potassium oxide concentrations at five levels: 0 (control), 2, 3, 4, and 5 parts per thousand (ppt). The measured parameters included plant height, biomass yield, seed yield, 1000-seed weight, number of umbels per plant, seed carbohydrate content, chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll levels, as well as essential oil percentage and yield.
Result and Discussion: The results demonstrated that foliar application of potassium nanoparticles significantly influenced the growth and essential oil production of fennel. The application of 3 ppt potassium nanoparticles had the most pronounced positive effects on plant height, biomass yield, seed yield, 1000-seed weight, number of umbels per plant, seed carbohydrate content, and chlorophyll levels (a, b, and total). This concentration was found to optimize nutrient uptake and utilization, leading to enhanced photosynthetic efficiency and overall plant vigor. In terms of essential oil production, the highest essential oil percentage (4.37%) was observed in plants treated with 5 ppt potassium nanoparticles. However, the maximum essential oil yield (5.69 kg/ha) was achieved with 4 ppt potassium nanoparticles applied during the fruiting stage. This indicates that while higher concentrations of potassium nanoparticles may increase the essential oil percentage, the optimal concentration for maximizing essential oil yield is 4 ppt during the fruiting stage. The fruiting stage was identified as the most critical period for foliar application, as it coincides with the peak demand for nutrients to support seed and essential oil developmentThe findings of this study highlight the importance of precise nutrient management in fennel cultivation. Potassium, as a vital macronutrient, plays a key role in various physiological processes, including enzyme activation, osmoregulation, and stress tolerance. The use of potassium nanoparticles enhances nutrient use efficiency by providing a controlled and sustained release of potassium, thereby improving plant growth and essential oil production. Furthermore, the application of nanotechnology in agriculture offers an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fertilizers, reducing the risk of groundwater contamination and soil salinity. From an agronomic perspective, the results suggest that foliar application of 4 ppt potassium nanoparticles during the fruiting stage is the most effective strategy for maximizing essential oil yield in fennel. This approach not only improves the economic viability of fennel cultivation but also aligns with sustainable agricultural practices by minimizing input waste and environmental impact.
In conclusion, this study underscores the potential of nanotechnology, particularly potassium nanoparticles, in enhancing the growth and essential oil production of fennel. By optimizing foliar application timing and concentration, farmers can achieve higher yields and better-quality essential oils, thereby increasing the profitability of fennel cultivation. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into the role of nanotechnology in sustainable agriculture and its potential to address global challenges in food and medicinal plant production. Future research should explore the long-term effects of nanofertilizers on soil health and plant physiology, as well as their applicability to other medicinal plants. Additionally, studies on the economic feasibility and scalability of nanofertilizer use in different agricultural systems would be beneficial. This work contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable agricultural practices and highlights the importance of integrating innovative technologies into traditional farming systems to ensure food security and environmental sustainability in the face of a changing climate and growing population.
