- Intervention effect Drought reduced maize biomass accumulation by 37.0% at the low drought level.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced maize biomass accumulation by 58.7% at the high drought level.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced sorghum biomass accumulation by 21.2% at the low drought level.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced sorghum biomass accumulation by 32.3% at the high drought level.
- Association Drought was associated with retarded overall growth, relative water content and photosynthetic pigments in maize and sorghum.
- Association Drought was associated with retarded CO2 assimilation in maize and sorghum.
- Intervention effect Drought increased H2O2, malondialdehyde and electrolyte leakage in maize and sorghum.
- Intervention effect HA significantly improved the growth of maize and sorghum under well-watered and drought conditions compared with no HA.
- Intervention effect HA increased growth more strongly in maize than in sorghum.
- Intervention effect HA increased photosynthetic assimilation rate by 29.2% in maize under high drought.
- Intervention effect HA increased photosynthetic assimilation rate by 15.0% in sorghum under high drought.
- Association HA-promotive effects were associated with higher total chlorophyll, stomatal conductance and RWC in maize and sorghum.
- Association HA-promotive effects were associated with higher sucrose, total soluble sugars and total carbohydrates in maize and sorghum.
- Association HA-promotive effects were associated with higher proline and total soluble proteins in maize and sorghum.
- Intervention effect HA reduced drought-induced oxidative stress in maize and sorghum via induction of antioxidants, to significantly different extents.
- Recommendation HA priming is a potential drought-alleviating biostimulant for sustainable maize and sorghum production.
