Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Normal irrigation with superabsorbent polymer gave the highest seed yield, 2133.24 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect Irrigation disruption at podding with superabsorbent polymer gave 1564.3 kg/ha seed yield, a 3.87% reduction versus normal irrigation that was not statistically significant.
- Intervention effect Irrigation disruption at podding with mycorrhizal fungi reduced seed yield by 12.3% versus normal irrigation.
- Intervention effect Superabsorbent polymer reduced water consumption by approximately 1600 m3/ha.
- Association Irrigation disruption and water-saving methods had significant effects on seed yield, yield components, water use efficiency, total chlorophyll and proline levels.
