- Intervention effect Drought increased root traits in maize and sorghum.
- Intervention effect Drought increased H2O2, malondialdehyde and electrolyte leakage in maize and sorghum.
- Intervention effect HA significantly improved the growth of maize and sorghum under well-watered and drought conditions compared with no HA.
- Intervention effect HA increased growth more strongly in maize than in sorghum.
- Intervention effect HA increased photosynthetic assimilation rate by 29.2% in maize under high drought.
- Intervention effect HA increased photosynthetic assimilation rate by 15.0% in sorghum under high drought.
