Reviewer 2

Please use uppercase for title, subtitles and headings, and subheadings. Also, I suggest the title be shortening as 

Corrected=line 1

Line 17 to 21: Please rewrite this section, it is a very long sentence in the current format.

Corrected=line 19

Line 27 and 28: This is so general and unclear, please be specific that the mentioned parameters increased after foliar application of all treatments compared to the non-treated check? 

Corrected=line 30

Line 34: Author(s) should add a straightforward takeaway message on the future perspective of these nano-fertilizers as sustainable plant growth promoters.

Corrected=line 37

Line 35-36 please use ";" to separate the keywords instead of ","

Also, again the keywords are too long example “systematic literature mapping of self-adaptive system test”

Corrected=line 42

Line 38: Suggestion: Just use “medicinal plants”

Corrected=line 44

line 106: Please edit as follow: comparison with the local landrace (Urmia) of Fennel.

Corrected=line 114

Please edit Line 210: 3.2. Fruit Yield and Biological Yield

Corrected=line 268

Line 232: years.

Corrected=line 293

Line 386-387: Better to avoid repeated use of the same word in the same paragraph e.g. influential 

Corrected=line 453

Line 384: Please answer the following questions in the conclusion section:
what are the directions for the future? what are the research gaps? what is the novelty or what’s new to this article?

1-The aim to identify high- yielding compatible ecotypes and introduce them to farmers for  alternative planting

2- There was no particular problem and all ecotypes showed relative compatibility

3- Use of foliar spraying of magnetic water and comparison of several ecotypes, especially Turkish ecotype with Iranian ecotypes.

Line 399: what is RMC? Please add the full name

The authors would like to thank RMC
