Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Under no stress, vermicompost significantly increased chlorophyll, intercellular CO2 and net photosynthetic rate at all three stages.
- Intervention effect Under no stress, vermicompost significantly increased transpiration and maximal PSII quantum yield at all three stages.
- Intervention effect At flowering under moderate drought, 10 and 20% vermicompost significantly enhanced chlorophyll and Fv/Fm.
- Observation The authors report a positive effect of vermicompost on chickpea photosynthesis under no stress, but not under moderate or severe drought.
