Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Increasing drought elevated CAT, SOD, APX, REC and proline.
- Intervention effect Moderate drought increased WUE by 5.8% relative to control.
- Intervention effect Severe drought increased WUE by 11.7% relative to control.
- Observation Clay-loam soil produced the maximum grain yield of 491.8 g.
- Intervention effect SAP under drought enhanced gas exchange, chlorophyll, water content, height and grain yield.
- Intervention effect SAP under drought decreased REC, proline, CAT, SOD and APX activity.
- Observation The 80 kg.ha-1 SAP rate gave the highest photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and chlorophyll, and 10 kg.ha-1 gave the lowest.
- Intervention effect SAP at 40 and 80 kg.ha-1 increased leaf relative water content.
- Intervention effect SAP at 10 and 20 kg.ha-1 had no significant effect on leaf relative water content versus control.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 80 kg.ha-1 SAP for drought in sandy and clay-loam soils.
