- Intervention effect Drought reduced shoot growth and leaf photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Drought increased root and total plant growth relative to water applied and whole plant water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Seaweed extract increased total growth in drought-stressed trees on both rootstocks.
- Association Growth maintenance under drought was unrelated to photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Seaweed extract significantly affected plant water relations.
- Intervention effect Soil drench produced higher stem water potential than foliar treatment or control after eight weeks of drought.
- Recommendation Seaweed extract may improve drought tolerance in container-grown citrus trees.
