Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important crop grown for food, feed, and energy. In general, maize yield decreased due to drought stress during the reproductive stages, and, hence, it critical improve grain under drought. A field experiment was conducted with a split-plot design. The main factor irrigation regime viz. well-irrigated conditions withholding from tasseling filling 21 days. subplots include six treatments, namely, (i) control (water spray), (ii) zinc oxide @ 100 ppm, (iii) manganese 20 (iv) nZnO ppm + nMnO (v) Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) Nano Revive 1.0%, (vi) sulfate 0.25% 0.25%. During stress, anthesis–silking interval (ASI), chlorophyll b content, proline, starch, carbohydrate fractions were recorded. At harvest, grain-filling rate duration, per cent green leaf area, traits Drought increased proline (38.1%) (0.45 d) over irrigated condition. However, foliar application of ZnO (100 ppm) (20 lowered ASI index, content water spray. seed-filling (17%), duration (11%), seed (19%) Nevertheless, (90%), (13%), (52%) by spraying These findings suggest that significantly conditions.

Global climate change accelerates the challenges of agricultural drought spells, which are alarming for food security and can trigger scarcity. Therefore, improving soil-water retention capability crop resilience is becoming more important sustainable agriculture. This study investigates individual combined effects biochar potassium on soil water retention, resilience, related physio-biochemical mechanisms over a 50-day growth period in potted plants. Pine needle (350 g/10 Kg soil) was used during preparation stage while sulfate (100 mg/L) applied as foliar spray at development (10 days) vegetative stages (45 under three stress conditions: control (100% FC), mild (75% FC) severe (40% FC). The results revealed that application significantly increased morphological, physiological, biochemical attributes maize plants stress, shoot fresh weight by 11%, 6%, 5%, root 19%, 23%, length 17%, 16%, 21%, 30%, 29% control, mild, conditions, respectively. Similarly, relative contents (RWC) 12%, 20%, potential (Ψ) 26%, 22%, 24%, osmotic (Ψs) 100%, 59%, turgor (Ψp) 28%, 35%, 51% treatment compared to stress. Additionally, with also improved membrane stability integrity, cell wall loosening, lipid peroxidation, protein denaturing decreasing electrolytic leakage 43%, proline 27%, hydrogen peroxidase 47%, 45%, 41%, malondialdehyde 28% through activation enzymatic (CAT, POD, SOD) non-enzymatic (TSS, AsA, GSH) antioxidants. Furthermore, nutrient uptake enhanced, N increasing P 64%, 82%, 52%, K 42%, 35% shoots normal, These improvements mitigated dehydration, reduced transpiration inefficiency delayed senescence, ultimately supporting plant In conclusion, integrating effectively improves alleviates oxidative enhances tolerance strategy play crucial role agriculture mitigating adverse drought-prone regions.

Abstract The excessive accumulation of sodium chloride (NaCl) in soil can result salinity, which poses a significant challenge to plant growth and crop production due impaired water nutrient uptake. On the other hand, hydropriming (WP) low level NaCl priming improve germination seeds, chlorophyll contents, oil seed yield plants. That’s why this study investigates impact hydro different levels (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 2.0%) priming, as pre-treatment techniques on canola seeds germination, two varieties Punjab Faisal Canola. Results showed that, WP performed best for increase (~ 20 ~ 22%) shoot length 6 10%) over non-priming (NP) Canola respectively. A height 7%), root 1 fresh weight 5 7%) It was also observed that plants under 0.5%NaCl were better per plant, silique silique, branches contents leaf relative NP. In conclusion, has potential growth, attributes compared non-priming, 1.0%NaCl 1.5%NaCl 2.0%NaCl priming.

Cadmium (Cd) is a potentially harmful metal with significant biological toxicity that adversely affects plant growth and physiological metabolism. Excessive Cd exposure in plants leads to stunted owing its negative impact on functions such as photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, water balance. Potassium-enriched biochar (KBC) Bacillus altitudinis rhizobacteria (RB) can effectively overcome this problem. significantly enhances by improving the soil structure, encouraging retention, enhancing microbial activity slow-release nutrient. Rhizobacteria promote root ion transport availability while promoting health conservation through RB production. This study examined effects of combining + KBC an amendment rice, both without stress. Four treatments (control, KBC, RB, KBC) were applied using completely randomized design (CRD) four replications. The results showed combination increased rice height (38.40%), shoot length (53.90%), (12.49%) above control under Additionally, there notable improvements chlorophyll (15.31%), b (25.01%), total (19.37%) compared stress, which also potential treatment. Moreover, N, P, K concentrations roots shoots confirmed could improve Consequently, these findings suggest effective alleviate stress rice. Farmers should use achieve better cadmium
