Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect IP 0% × PD 22 was the efficient treatment for enhancing physio-biochemical attributes of clitoria.
- Intervention effect IP 0% × PD 22 was at par with IP 0% × PD 33, IP 20% × PD 22 and IP 20% × PD 17 for chlorophyll content in GCI.
- Intervention effect IP 0% × PD 22 was at par with IP 0% × PD 17 and IP 20% × PD 22 for leaf relative water content in GCII.
- Intervention effect IP 0% × PD 22 was at par with IP 0% × PD 33, IP 20% × PD 33 and IP 20% × PD 22 for cell membrane stability index in GCII.
- Intervention effect IP 40% × PD 33 gave the highest leaf:stem ratio in GCI (2.07 and 1.78).
- Intervention effect IP 40% × PD 33 gave the highest leaf:stem ratio in GCII (1.18 and 0.96).
- Intervention effect IP 40% × PD 33 recorded the greatest protein content in GCI (24.1–27.0%).
- Intervention effect IP 40% × PD 33 recorded the greatest protein content in GCII (21.7–19.5%).
- Intervention effect IP 20% × PD 33 gave the best aggregate protein yield in SI (1.36 t ha −1), not significantly different from IP 0% × PD 33 or IP 40% × PD 33.
- Intervention effect IP 20% × PD 33 gave the best aggregate protein yield in SII (1.40 t ha −1), not significantly different from IP 0% × PD 33 or IP 40% × PD 33.
- Intervention effect The greatest aggregate dry forage yield in SI, under IP 0% or IP 20% combined with PD 33, was 7.77 and 7.52 t ha−1 without significant difference.
- Recommendation Irrigation at 80% of full water with 33 plants m−2 is recommended as an efficient water-saving tactic for clitoria.
- Intervention effect Irrigation at 80% of full water enhanced irrigation water-use efficiency.
- Observation Leaf relative water content decreased under deficit water in clitoria.
- Observation Cell membrane stability index decreased under deficit water in clitoria.
- Observation Proline increased under deficit water in clitoria.
- Observation Clitoria is moderately drought tolerant.
