Other claims from this paper (18)
- Observation Maize genotypes were ranked for water-stress tolerance as Suwan 2301 > Suwan 4452 > S 7328.
- Observation The yield index was identified as one of the suitable standards for drought tolerance checks for maize in the greenhouse and in the field.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 gave higher relative water content (90.38%) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 gave higher proline (24.79 µmol g−1 FW) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 gave higher total soluble sugar (1629 mg g−1 FW) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 gave higher stem base diameter (24.49 mm) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 gave higher aboveground plant biomass (271.34 g plant−1) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 gave higher specific leaf weight (51.71 g m−2) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 gave higher relative growth rate (25.26 mg plant−1 day−1) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 gave higher net assimilation rate (0.91 mg cm−2 day−1) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 tactics gave higher energy efficiency (1.66) than no ethephon application.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 tactics gave higher heat utilization efficiency (2.99 kg ha−1 °C days−1).
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 tactics gave higher gross margin (682.02 USD ha−1).
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 tactics gave higher MBCR (3.32).
- Intervention effect Ethephon application as T1 tactics gave higher carbon absorption (6.19 t C ha−1).
- Observation Several agro-physiological traits, including specific leaf weight, stem base diameter, proline, heat utilization efficiency, 100-kernel weight, TSS, electrolyte leakage and lodging percentage, show a substantial direct effect and significant correlation with kernel yield.
- Observation Relative water content, stem base diameter, total soluble sugar, proline, aboveground biomass, root weight, relative growth rate, specific leaf weight and net assimilation rate were the most desirable yield-index traits under greenhouse water stress.
- Recommendation Ethephon application as T1 may be a good option for sustainable maize production under rainfed conditions.
