Abstract

The study was conducted during the growing season 2021-2022 in the fields of Education College in Qurna, University of Basra. To find out the effect of using Nano zinc oxide and Acadian extract and their addition method on the active compounds of seed Eruca sativa Mill. The experiment included fifteen factorial treatments, which are combinations of five treatments, which are the control treatment (distilled water only) and Nano zinc oxide with concentrations of 75 and 150 mg l-1, and seaweed extract (Acadian) with concentrations of 1000 and 2000 mg l-1 with three methods of use are 1- soaking the seeds 2- foliar spraying 3- watering with the concentrations of above treatments, with three replications according to Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D) using the least significant difference, to compare the averages (L.S.D) Significant Differences Test Least at a probability level of 0.05 by using GenStat program for final analysis. The results showed an increase in the concentration of active compounds represented by the oil percentage and the concentration of flavonoids, phenols, glutathione and glucosinolates in the seeds of plants treated with Acadian extract at a concentration of 2000 mg l-1 compared to other fertilizer treatments, as it reached 0.363%, 2.505 mg 100 g-1, 0.0055 mg 100g-1, 46.777 mg 100g-1, and 62.857 mg.100g-1 respectively. The treatment methods showed a significant difference in the content seeds of the active compounds under study. The method of soaking seeds excelled by giving the highest percentage of oil, amounting to 0.252%, and the watering method gave the highest value for phenols, amounting to 0.0040 mg100 g-1. The method of using foliar spraying for plants resulted in the highest values for flavonoids, glutathione, and glucosinolates were 1.693 mg 100g-1, 43.840 mg 100g-1 and 49.329 mg 100g-1, respectively. The interaction between fertilizer treatments and methods of use had a significant effect.
