Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect Seed yield at 60% of control irrigation did not differ significantly from the full-irrigation control.
- Intervention effect Number of leaves, relative water content and leaf nitrogen concentration at 60% of control irrigation did not differ significantly from control.
- Intervention effect Fertilization percentage, seed number per head and 100-seed weight at 60% of control irrigation did not differ significantly from control.
- Intervention effect Period from planting to 50% flowering at 60% of control irrigation did not differ significantly from control.
- Observation Saving 40% of irrigation water would be possible, about 1920 and 2960 m3 per ha, without yield reduction.
- Intervention effect Seed yield at 50% irrigation fell by 14.61% in spring relative to control.
- Intervention effect Seed yield at 40% irrigation fell by 19.74% in spring relative to control.
- Intervention effect Seed yield at 50% irrigation fell by 21.95% in autumn relative to control.
- Intervention effect Seed yield at 40% irrigation fell by 33.33% in autumn relative to control.
- Intervention effect Irrigation at 40% and at 60% of control gave the best water use efficiency in both seasons.
- Association Proline acid concentration significantly affected most of the studied sunflower traits.
- Intervention effect Proline acid at 60 mg/L increased sunflower fertilization percentage compared with control.
- Intervention effect Proline acid at 60 mg/L increased sunflower seed yield to 3.75 and 2.21 t/ha compared with control.
- Intervention effect Proline acid at 60 mg/L increased water use efficiency, reported as 0.84 kg seed per m3 water.
- Association The interaction of irrigation and proline acid significantly affected all seed yield component traits in both seasons.
- Recommendation Under limited irrigation, full irrigation at 50% depletion of available water avoids a significant decrease in seed yield; authors recommend it.
- Recommendation Treating sunflower with proline acid at 60 mg/L is recommended to improve capacity against water stress.
