In the present study, the effect of using the Iron Oxide nanoparticles has been investigated on the increase of the length and weight of the aquatic plant spikerash. In this study, the Iron Oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via the Coprecipitation method and the SEM and XRD techniques were used for characterization of the particles. FeCl2 and FeCl3 were used as the Iron source and NaOH solution were used as the reducting agent. The SEM results showed that the mean size of the obtained particles synthesized in various conditions varied between 18.4 and 24.7 nanometers and the particles are spherical and semi-spherical in shape. The XRD data verified the formation of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles with the reverse Spinel structure. The mean size of the obtained particles reduced with the increase of the pH of the solution. The nanoparticles have been added to the growth environment of the plant with the concentration of 30, 60, 90 and 120 ppm to investigate the effect of particles concentration on the plant growth. The obtained results showed that the increase of the particles concentration up to 90 ppm had no negative effect on the growth of the plant and led to the increase of the plant length and weight. The Iron Oxide nanoparticles had negative effect on the pre-mentioned parameters in high concentrations about 120 ppm. By decrease of the mean size of the synthesized particles, more increase was seen in the growth of the length and weight of Spikerash due to the higher contact surface between the nanoparticles and the plant cells; and preparation of more micronutrients required for the plant growth.
