Nano-fertilizer offers new agricultural chemicals and tools for improving crop productivity. One of the most important applications of nanotechnology in this field is plant fertilization. The aim of study was to estimate nano-ferltizer on growth and yield of Cucumis sativus. Three levels of nano-fertilzer have been used including 1.5, 3 and 6 g/L with local variety of cucumber. The results showed that foliar application of nano-fertilizer significantly increased number of leaves (plant-1), plant length (cm), leaf area (cm2), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm) when using a 6 g/L concentration compared to control plants. As well as, number of fruits (plant-1), weight of fruit, plant yield (kg) and total number of fruit have recorded highest values when using 6 g/L concentration showed a significant difference with the other treatments, while no significant difference was observed between control treatments, which differed significantly from treatment 1.5 g/L.
