t0“wheat growth and biochemical attributes under water stress”
e1“We noted a decrease in plant height, shoot and root fresh/dry weight, leaf area, leaf relative water content (LRWC), chlorophyll, and carotenoid content due to water stress”
e2“Field experiments were conducted during wheat growing seasons of 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 to evaluate the effects of Jatropha leaves mulch on the growth of wheat varieties ‘Wadan-17’ (rainfed) and ‘Pirsabaq-2013’ (irrigated) under well irrigated and water stress conditions”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Under water stress, Jatropha mulch significantly maintained soil moisture content needed for normal plant growth.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased plant height, shoot and root fresh/dry weight and leaf area relative to well irrigated conditions.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased leaf and root phenolics content.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased leaf soluble sugars and electrolyte leakage, which are adverse effects.
- Intervention effect Jatropha mulch maintained leaf relative water content under water stress.
- Intervention effect Jatropha mulch maintained chlorophyll content under water stress.
- Intervention effect Jatropha mulch maintained plant height, shoot and root fresh/dry weight and leaf area under water stress.
- Intervention effect Jatropha mulch reversed the water-stress increase in leaf soluble sugar content and electrolyte leakage to normal.
