Effect of Salicylic Acid and Calcium Chloride on Growth of Corn Under Water Stress Condition

Purpose: Oxidation stress occurs when plants are exposed to water and it limits the plant growth yield. The application of salicylic acid (SA) CaCl2 is expected alleviate this induce yield in corn. Research Method: Corn was planted two main plots, normal drought irrigation regimes (three- four-day withholding, respectively), each plot divided into three sub that were no-application, with 0.01 SA + 45 mM sections. A regulator sprayed on corn times days 20 (before withholding begin) 50. height, shoot fresh weight (ear weight, ear diameter, length, number rows/ear seeds/ row) measured day 65. Statistically significant differences between treatments analyzed a two-way ANOVA. Findings: Between 25 – 60, length growing higher than either (receiving or not). On 65, only shown similar lengths different regimes. diameter grown better under irrigation. could irrigation, while induced irrigated plot. Originality/ Value: With these results, possible use promote acidic soil
