e0“A consistent trend of better performance at 300 ppm SA dose, especially at severe soil moisture-deficit of 50% FC, was observed (48%, 59%, 54%, and 153% higher fruit yield, water productivity, membrane stability index, and net photosynthetic rate, respectively, compared with the non-primed control at the same soil moisture regime).”

- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity without SA, fruit yield fell 64% relative to 100% field capacity.
- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity without SA, water productivity fell 48% relative to 100% field capacity.
- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity without SA, total soluble solids fell 22% relative to 100% field capacity.
- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity without SA, membrane stability index fell 43% relative to 100% field capacity.
- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity without SA, electrolyte leakage rose 260% relative to 100% field capacity.
- Intervention effect SA priming significantly improved germination, growth, physiological and fruit yield parameters across moisture regimes.
- Intervention effect The 300 ppm SA dose gave better germination, root and shoot dry matter, fruit yield, water productivity, soluble solids and membrane stability, with performance often similar to 400 and 500 ppm.
- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity, 300 ppm SA priming raised fruit yield 48% over nonprimed control.
- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity, 300 ppm SA priming raised water productivity 59% over nonprimed control.
- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity, 300 ppm SA priming raised net photosynthetic rate 153% over nonprimed control.
- Intervention effect Increasing SA dose above 300 ppm had almost no additional effect.
- Recommendation The authors regard 300 ppm SA as an optimum priming dose for productivity and economic returns under moisture deficit.
