Title

X Xudan Australian Journal of Agricultural Research 1986. doi:10.1071/ar9860343
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Foliar fulvic acid reduced stomatal conductance in well-watered pot plants from about 0.80 to 0.25 cm s-1.
- Intervention effect Control-plant stomatal conductance declined to almost zero over a nine-day drying cycle.
- Intervention effect FA-sprayed plants maintained stomatal conductance near 0.30 cm s-1 through drying.
- Intervention effect FA spraying increased chlorophyll in the leaves.
- Intervention effect FA spraying increased uptake of 32P by the roots.
- Intervention effect Drought at ear development depressed grain yield by 30%.
- Intervention effect FA increased field grain yield by 7.3-18.0% while reducing water or hot-wind stress during ear development.
