Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Chlorophyll content was positively and significantly correlated with leaf nitrogen percentage (r = 0.97).
- Association Chlorophyll-related traits were significantly correlated with forage fresh and dry weight and protein yield.
- Association Chlorophyll-related traits were significantly correlated with raw fiber percentage of the forage.
- Intervention effect Superabsorbent polymer increased forage fresh and dry weight and growth indices of pearl millet.
- Intervention effect Superabsorbent polymer increased qualitative traits of pearl millet.
- Intervention effect Fresh weight of forage, chlorophyll content and protein content did not differ significantly between 80% and 100% irrigation.
- Intervention effect Percentage of fiber did not differ significantly between 80% and 100% irrigation.
- Observation Superabsorbent application saved 20% water.
- Mechanism Superabsorbent hydrogel under drought stress is expected to improve yield, qualitative traits and growth indices of pearl millet through soil water and root mechanisms.
