The accumulation of total soluble and cell wall-bound phenolics proteins in Zea mays plants exposed to drought stress foliar spray salicylic acid (SA) at 10−4 mol/L 10−5 was investigated. Drought imposed the four-leaf stage for 10 days (30–35% field capacity). Dehydration maize leaves accompanied by both phenolics, reduction leaf relative water content (LRWC), shoot root growth attributes. Foliar spraying SA further augmented under stress. ameliorated adverse effects on LRWC, fresh weight,...
Abstract Background Organic mulches are widely used in crop production systems. Due to their benefits improving soil fertility, retention of moisture and weed control. Field experiments were conducted during wheat growing seasons 2018–2019 2019–2020 evaluate the effects Jatropha leaves mulch on growth varieties ‘Wadan-17’ (rainfed) ‘Pirsabaq-2013’ (irrigated) under well irrigated water stress conditions (non-irrigated maintaining 40% field capacity). was applied surface at 0, 1, 3 5 Mg ha −1...
Linseed is an important industrial crop cultivated for its edible seeds and fiber linen. Organic fertilizers have beneficial effects on soil properties quality of crops. Therefore, we conducted two field experiments during 2018–2019 2019–2020 to determine the effect organic fertility, yield linseed varieties Roshni, BL1 Chandni under low moisture conditions. We prepared from seed cake Eruca sativa, leaves Moringa oleifera chicken peat in various combinations by composting method. The...
