Abstract Improving maize yield in newly reclaimed soils presents major challenges. This study analyzed the impact of various irrigation methods (drip, sprinkler, and surface), foliar applications (potassium bicarbonate (PoB), methanol, water control), mulching techniques (with without rice paddy straw) on growth, physiology, productivity, use efficiency (WUE) soil over two seasons 2022 2023. The employed a split-split plot design arranged randomized complete blocks with three replications. integration drip irrigation, PoB spray, straw yielded superior results, improving grain (GY,10.0-13.08 t/ha) biological (BY, 51.37–59.53 comparison to control treatments. findings were validated through multivariate analyses, such as principal component analysis (PCA), structural equation modeling (SEM), hierarchical clustering heatmap, radar visualization. PCA revealed that initial components accounted for 85.6% total variance, growth parameters exhibiting strong correlation first (76.8%). Also, SEM BY (0.603), plant height (0.594), net assimilation rate (0.589) exerted most significant direct positive influences GY. Drip demonstrated highest WUE at 3.70 kg/m³, significantly surpassing sprinkler 3.32 kg/m³ surface 3.03 kg/m³. Mulched plots showed better (3.53 kg/m³) compared non-mulched (3.17 kg/m³), application yielding (3.80 kg/m³). Seasonal variations noted, combined mulch reaching (4.20 season, whereas performance (5.49 second season. results highlight opportunity enhance yields soils, potassium application, emerging innovative practice boosting crop optimizing use.

Salicylic acid (SA) is one of the most commonly used natural plant protection compounds, considered effective in mitigating damage caused by abiotic and biotic stressors. The current review article summarizes significant achievements stress management over past ten years. We also provide insights into new perspectives on use salicylic acid. role SA signaling, its effects biotic, oxidative stress, evaluates possibilities combination with other active presents promising application opportunities offered techniques that may become available coming decades.
