In order to the nanoparticles effect on seedling vigour index in maize (Zea mays L.), this experiment was conducted in 2011 by a factorial design with four replications. The factor was included use of TiO2 nanoparticle (0, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 percentage). The results showed that the effect of nanoparticle was significant on germination percentage, seedling vigour, seedling length and seedling dry weight in maize. Means comparisons showed that the highest germination percentage, seedling vigour, seedling length and seedling dry weight were achieved under use of 0.03 percentage TiO2 nanoparticle. The results showed that use of nanoparticles can increased seedling vigour index in maize that can increase energy efficiency management (EEM) for achieved to the sustainable agriculture.
