- Intervention effect Water stress decreased broccoli growth, yield, leaf chlorophyll and nutrient content.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased leaf proline and curd dry matter, total soluble solids and water use efficiency.
- 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.
