Recently, nanotechnology provides wide range of new applications and the present study tries to show the effects of clay nanoparticle and mulch within curved micro catchment ponds on the growth and establishments of Nitraria schoberi in desert rehabilitation projects. Nitraria schoberi species were planted in each formed curved micro catchment ponds and treated with pure acrylic resin (without nanoparticles), 1% nano-clay particles of acrylic resin, 3% acrylic resin nanoparticle and wheat mulch with 10 replication and compared with control. The plant characteristics such as percentage of established seedlings, crown cover, plant height and number of lateral shoots (tillers) were measured. Data analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance. The results showed that the various treatments improved vegetation characteristics significantly compared to the control. Using 3% acrylic resin nanoparticle leads to improve vegetation traits and 100 percent species establishment compared with control with 20 % plant establishment. Therefore, we recommend using 3% clay nanoparticle acrylic resin in curved micro catchment ponds to ensure maximum success and optimum growth in the cultivation of Nitraria schoberi in arid and semi-arid regions.
