Other claims from this paper (13)
- Association Maize establishment rate and maximum fluorescence (Fm) are affected by the triple effects of cold, pretreatment and cultivar.
- Association The highest establishment, 99.66%, was observed in the KP3 control treatment.
- Association The highest Fm, 994 units, was observed in the KP3 control treatment.
- Association The highest establishment rate, 0.476 days, was related to the P0 pretreatment.
- Association The lowest establishment rate, 0.182 days, was related to the P3 pretreatment.
- Association Cultivar A had higher chlorophyll a and b and carotenoid content than cultivar K under optimal and cold conditions.
- Association Cultivar A had higher establishment rate than cultivar K under optimal and cold conditions.
- Association Cultivar A with P3 pretreatment had the highest root dry weight, 11.84 units.
- Intervention effect Pretreatment with Trichoderma harzianum increased physiological parameters and seedling emergence of maize under cold and optimal stress.
- Association Cultivar K had higher leaf and root catalase activity than cultivar A.
- Intervention effect Cold treatment significantly differed in peroxidase activity from the control treatment in maize.
- Intervention effect Hydropriming gave the highest polyphenol oxidase activity and proline content in maize.
- Intervention effect Cold treatment gave higher polyphenol oxidase activity and proline content than cold-free conditions in maize.
