Abstract Prolonged drought periods cause a cascade of biochemical alterations in plants and lead to reduction plant growth crop productivity. Seaweed extracts are category biostimulants that effective alleviating stress on plants. However, the effect seaweed attenuating negative impact Faba bean ( Vicia faba L .) under arid semi-arid conditions has received little attention. This study was cond...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract An experiment was conducted, using 960 sexed broiler chicks between 7 and 21 d of age, to measure their response to increasing contents of faba bean in the feed. The experimental design consisted of two sexes, six levels of faba bean (0 to 250 g/kg feed), two feed forms (mash and pellets) and two levels of...

When crops are exposed to drought there is commonly an increase in solute-pool of the plant tissue. A series of experiments were conducted in 1994 and 1995 in the University of Hohenheim, Germany, to evaluate whether drought-induced solute accumulation per se will improve drought resistance, to determine the species of active osmotica involved, and to identify alternative mechanisms in grain le...
