Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased broccoli growth, yield, leaf chlorophyll and nutrient content.
- Intervention effect Soil humic acid mitigated water deficit effects on broccoli growth and yield.
- Intervention effect At the maximal humic acid rate, water-stressed plants attained WUE of 9.32 and 9.36 kg m 3−1 in successive seasons.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 9.6 kg ha −1 humic acid for broccoli yield and production sustainability.
