Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Under moderate and severe water stress, root calcium concentration of chickpea increased by 40% and 39% with 30% vermicompost treatments.
- Intervention effect Under moderate and severe water stress, leaf potassium content of chickpea increased by 49% and 59% with 30% vermicompost treatments.
- Intervention effect Sodium absorption of chickpea was significantly reduced by 37% and 21% by vermicompost treatment under moderate and severe water stress.
- Intervention effect Under moderate and severe water stress, a growth medium of 30% vermicompost significantly increased chickpea proline by 39% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Under moderate and severe water stress, a growth medium of 30% vermicompost significantly increased chickpea soluble protein content by 28% compared with the control.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that vermicompost reduced the negative effects of water stress in chickpea by increasing calcium and potassium absorption and decreasing sodium absorption.
