The effectiveness of chitosan zinc oxide nanoparticles (CS-ZnO-NPs) on growth and yield wheat (Triticum aestivum L., Sakha-93), content water use efficiency (WUE) under stress were investigated. A pot experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design by foliar application CS-ZnO-NPs. Wheat plants sprayed four times at 15, 30, 45 60 days after sowing. treatments were: control (treated w...

Although atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) has been widely recognized as the evaporative driving force for water transport, the potential to reduce plant water consumption and improve water productivity by regulating VPD is highly uncertain. To bridge this gap, water transport in combination with plant productivity was examined in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants grown under cont...

There are important public needs to be addressed within the Asian region, such as degraded environments and their impact on health and the land productivity needed to support the population. Hundreds of millions of people in the region are chronically malnourished or suffer from the lack of reliable sources of clean water. While food production can be boosted by new farm technologies raising cr...

A more efficient water use system is needed for agriculture. This is more evidence for rice production with a higher water use for economical production. A large cultivar×water regime interaction exists for grain yield in rice. Therefore, information is required to adopt new rice cultivars with high yield potential under water-saving conditions. The objectives of this study were to analyze the ...

Background: The steady demand for banana due to its varied uses makes a high value crop. In Kerala, more than 70 per cent of cultivation is done on leased lands and hence obtaining maximum income from unit area assumes utmost importance. High density planting (HDP) could realize it, but had be standardised in agro climatic regions the state using specific cultivars management level. Methods: Fi...
