t0“Yield of Chickpea under Drought Stress”
e0“A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of foliar sprays of brassinosteroids and kinetin on biochemical parameters and yield of chickpea under drought stress at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh”
e2“Water stress had repressing effect on SPAD chlorophyll meter reading (SCMR) values whereas proline content and antioxidanat enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase) increased with increase in duration of stress”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Water stress lowered SPAD chlorophyll meter reading values of chickpea.
- Intervention effect Homobrassinolide and kinetin sprays increased proline content, antioxidant enzymes and SCMR values of drought-stressed chickpea.
- 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.
