Abstract The current decline in freshwater resources presents a significant global challenge to crop production, situation expected intensify with ongoing climate change. This underscores the need for extensive research enhance yields under drought conditions, priority scientists given its vital role food security. Our study explores effects of using humic and chitosan treatments alleviate stress during critical growth phases their impact on yield water efficiency. We employed four different irrigation strategies: full irrigation, 70% at early vine development stage, storage root bulking 85% across both stages, complemented by other periods. plants received either through foliar spray or soil application, applications, tap serving as control. findings highlight that stage is particularly vulnerable drought, 42.0% decrease observed such conditions. In normal scenarios, application substances significantly improved parameters, resulting substantial increase efficiency 66.9% 68.4%, respectively, compared control treatment irrigation. For sweet potatoes irrigated ground outperformed applications terms results. highest tuber were attained combining regardless whether was used stages.

Chitosan (CTS) is recognized for enhancing a plant's resilience to various environmental stresses, such as salinity and drought. Moreover, salicylic acid (SA) acknowledged growth regulator involved in addressing metal toxicity. However, the effectiveness of both compounds mitigating Cr-induced stress has remained relatively unexplored, especially case Aconitum napellus, medicinally floricultural important plant. Therefore, primary objective this study was investigate potential CTS SA alleviating chromium (Cr)-induced A. napellus. To address these research questions, we conducted controlled experiment using potted plants evaluate individual combined impacts on exposed Cr stress. Foliar application (0.4 g/L) or (0.25 mmol/L) led significant improvements growth, chlorophyll content, fluorescence, photosynthetic traits napellus under The most notable effects were observed with SA, resulting increases morphological parameters, shoot length (2.89% 7.02%) root (27.75% 3.36%) 1 2 treatments, respectively. Additionally, several physiological (762.5% 145.56%), b carotenoid (17.03% 28.57%), anthocyanin (112.01% 47.96%) contents, notably improved treatment fluorescence parameters while decreasing levels enzymatic antioxidants catalase (27.59% 43.79%, respectively). also increased osmoprotectant total protein content (54.11% 20.07%) soluble sugar (78.17% 49.82%) leaves In summary, results strongly suggest that simultaneous use exogenous an effective strategy detrimental This integrated approach opens promising avenues further exploration implementation within agricultural production systems.

Проведено дослідження щодо вивчення впливу строків сівби на врожайність гібридів кукурудзи за умов змін клімату. Дослідження проведено протягом 2021–2023 років у польових умовах фермерського господарства Пирятинської територіальної громади Полтавської області. Об’єктами обрано середньостиглі гібриди ДКС 3939 і 4408. Попереднє погодних розрахованим гідротермічним коефіцієнтом зволоження засвідчило, що квітень був достатньо вологим, тільки недостатньо стабільно теплим, відобразилося врожайності кукурудзи, посіяної 5 квітня. Отримано обох межах 84,7–98,5 ц/га, є найменшим показником порівняно з іншими строками сівби, однак вищим середній рівень по Україні (56,2–76,8 ц/га) Полтавській області (64,5–85,1 ц/га). Обґрунтовано, ранній посів прогрітий ґрунт продовжує тривалість періоду від до сходів, а отже, загальної вегетації рослини, зменшує врожайність. Посів 20 квітня більш сприятливим дозволив збільшити гібрида 10,8–20,1 % (на рівні 95,3–110,7 ц/га), тоді як 4408 – 3,0–14,0 (89,1–112,3 За такої умови гібрид показав більшу відносно разі посіву 2021 2023 6,5 9,4 відповідно. У травня отримано ще всіма гібридами завдяки умовам початку росту та розвитку (більш прогрітому ґрунту достатній вологості). Врожайність була 98,7–112,4 ц/га (з максимумом року), урожайність 93,2–114,5 де найбільш врожайним 2022 рік. Отже, нестабільного мінливого температурного режиму урожайним виявився травня.

Abstract Foxtail millet is a highly nutritious crop, which widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid areas worldwide. Humic acid (HA), as common plant growth regulator, used an organic fertilizer feed additive agricultural production. However, the impact of potassium humate KH on photosynthetic rate yield foxtail has not yet been studied. We explored effects application morphology, ability, carbon nitrogen metabolism, millet. A field experiment was performed using six concentrations (0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 kg ha −1 ) supplied foliarly at booting stage Zhangza 10 cultivar (a grown high-yield variety). The results showed that treatment increased growth, chlorophyll content (SPAD), ( P n), transpiration T r), stomatal conductance G s). In addition, soluble protein content, sugar nitrate reductase activity KH-treated plants. With concentration, became more evident peak values each factor were achieved 80 . Photosynthetic significant correlation with SPAD, r, s, but negatively correlated intercellular CO 2 concentration. Compared to control, under T2, T3, T4, T5 (40, KH) treatments significantly by 6.0%, 12.7%, 10.5%, 8.6%, respectively. Yield exhibited positive n, s. Overall, enhances millet, therefore it may be conducive stable These findings provide theoretical basis for green efficient production fields.
