The use of large amounts of chemical fertilizers promotes high-yield agriculture, but is also
associated with a number of problems, such as low fertilizer utilization rates, soil …

Plant growth and development is adversely affected by different kind of stresses. One of the
major abiotic stresses, salinity, causes complex changes in plants by influencing the …

Drought stress deleteriously affects growth, development and productivity in plants. So, we
examined the silicon effect (2 mmol) and proline (10 mmol) individually or the combination …

This paper reviews and analyses the importance of maize as staple food in Eastern and

Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of sugar beet to lose the final sugar yield
under water limiting regime. Ample evidences have revealed the important role of mineral …

Soybean, one of the major food and fodder crops, yield is significantly reduced by different
abiotic and biotic stresses, and salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses. The research …

Water and nutrient restrictions are the factors that limiting growth of maize in arid/semi-arid

Stevia rebaudiana is an important medicinal plant which represents the most important
sugar substitute in many countries. Poor seed germination of this plant is a critical problem …

The kernel setting of maize varies greatly because of the timing and intensity of water
deficits. This variation can limit leaf productivity (source), the translocation of assimilated …

The impact of (long‐term) drought acclimation and (short‐term) heat stress and their
combination on fast chlorophyll fluorescence induction curves (OJIP) and grain yield was …
