Interactive Effects of Jasmonic Acid, Triazole Treatments on Some Biochemical, Physiological, Yield-related Attributes of Mini-tuber Potato Cultivar Agria under Drought Stress Conditions

Exogenously Applied Salicylic Acid and Putrescine Enhanced Terminal Drought Tolerance in Wheat via Modulation in Photosynthetic Pigments, Antioxidants Defence Mechanism and Accumulation Osmo-Metabolites

Salicylic Acid Improves Morpho-Physiological Traits and Biomass of Kale under Drought Stress

Drought stress in agricultural land disrupts the physiological processes, growth, and yield of kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala). This study evaluated the physiological responses, growth, and yield of kale treated with salicylic acid, a potential strategy to enhance plant tolerance to drought stress, in a green...

Moringa leaf extract biostimulant in modulating proline of rice seedlings in drought: Integration of phytochemical screening and physiological assessment

Drought stress is one of the main factors limiting rice plant growth, especially during the seedling stage. Water deficiency causes physiological disturbances, characterized by decreased photosynthetic activity and increased oxidative stress. The use of natural-based biostimulants is a strategic alternative to increase...

Effect of seed treatments on drought tolerance, growth, yield and biochemical responses of rice under varying moisture regimes

A pot experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Vellanikkara, during late rabi 2024 to study the effect of seed treatments on drought stress management and their impact on growth, yield and biochemical characteristics. The treatments consisted of seven seed treatments, viz., S₁-designe...

Interactive effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and drought stress on the growth and yield of shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) cultivated in saline soil

This study evaluated the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and drought-stress timing on the growth, yield, and physiological responses of shallot ( Allium ascalonicum L.) cultivated in saline soil. The experiment was conducted using a factorial randomized block design with PGPR concentrations of 0,...
