  1. • Treatments with the same letters do not have any significant difference.
  2. Means were compared according to Duncan test at 0.01 level. Variation in different parameters is linked to effect of using nano chelated iron fertilizer in different stages. Results demonstrated that in most traits T3 had the maximum value.
