Water deficit stress is a critical constraint on global crop productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, where it severely compromises plant growth, yield, nutritional quality. Sustainable strategies to enhance resilience under such conditions are urgently needed. Nano-silicon (Si-NPs) sulfur (S) have emerged as promising amendments for mitigating abiotic stress, but their synergistic potential alleviating water oilseed crops like canola (Brassica napus L.) remains underexplored. This study investigated the combined effects of Si-NPs (0, 100, 200, 300 mg kg⁻1) 75, 150 S morphological, physiological, responses three levels (0.8, 0.6, 0.4 field capacity). Results demonstrated that significantly reduced photosynthetic efficiency, biomass accumulation, yield components. However, application counteracted these adverse effects. Specifically, 100 kg⁻1 increased shoot root weights by 19.3% 22.9%, respectively, compared control. The most effective treatment-200 with 75 kg⁻1-enhanced chlorophyll (1.76 g⁻1 FW), carotenoids (0.51 phosphorus uptake (0.85%), silicon accumulation shoots (4.3%), while reducing lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde: 23.53 µg FW). These findings highlight role improving drought enhancing capacity, nutrient homeostasis, oxidative mitigation. provides actionable insights integrating nano-enabled sustainable management practices bolster productivity water-scarce agroecosystems. Future research should validate results elucidate molecular mechanisms driving stress-adaptive responses.

Review: Research and policy priorities to address drought and irrigation water resource risks in temperate agriculture — R0/PR2

Опубликована: Май 2, 2023

Droughts are a major global natural hazard, creating negative environmental and socio-economic impacts across broad spectrum of sectors. However, agriculture is often the first sector to be impacted due prolonged rainfall shortages reducing available soil moisture reserves with consequences for both rainfed irrigated food crop production livestock. In UK, recent droughts in 2018 2022 have highlighted vulnerability agricultural horticultural sectors since most entirely dependent on capricious nature summer rainfall. Surprisingly, despite recognition agronomic economic risks, there remains paucity evidence multi-scalar drought, including yields quality, financial implications farming fresh produce supply chains. Drawing published grey science literature, this review provides comprehensive synthesis drought U.K. agriculture, characterisation sensitivity main sub-sectors different types critique short-term coping responses longer-term strategies identification knowledge gaps which need addressed through concerted effort research development inform future policies focussing climate change risk assessment agriculture. Although focuses predominantly evidence, insights findings relevant understanding management other temperate humid regions where fundamentally important component economy.
