Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Water stress lowered SPAD chlorophyll meter reading values of chickpea.
- Intervention effect Proline content and antioxidant enzymes of chickpea increased with increasing duration of water stress.
- Intervention effect Homobrassinolide spray was very effective in alleviating adverse effects of drought compared with kinetin spray.
- Intervention effect Control chickpea plants had higher seed yield than plants under water stress.
- Intervention effect Water stress from the vegetative stage gave the minimum seed yield of chickpea.
- Intervention effect Homobrassinolide at 1 ppm gave 20.9% higher seed yield than no spray in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Homobrassinolide at 1 ppm gave seed yield on par with kinetin spray at 5 ppm in chickpea.
