Soil moisture conservation, proper irrigation scheduling and nutrient management are crucial for sustainable cucumber production. A field experiment was set up over two years (2018 2019) to investigate the effects of frequency, black polyethylene mulching, nitrogen fertilization on yield, water use efficiency (WUE) (NUE) at Ikole-Ekiti, Nigeria. The a 3 x 2 factorial in randomized complete bloc...

PREMISE Persistence of tree populations in the face global change relies on their capacity to respond biotic and abiotic stressors through plastic or adaptive changes. Genetic adaptation will depend additive genetic variation within heritability traits related stress tolerance. Because can be genetically linked, selective pressure acting one trait may lead correlated responses other traits. MET...

Plantations are typically monocultures, which limits their sustainability. Therefore, understanding acclimatization strategies and resource use efficiencies in plant species life forms aids the improvement of vegetation diversity ecological functions. Here, 19 from forest plantations Fangshan, Beijing, China were studied. We determined net photosynthetic (Pn), transpiration rates (E), light res...

The study aimed to determine the evapotranspiration (ETc) of mango cv. ‘Palmer’ over two productive cycles, analyzing water-use efficiency (WUE) and crop water productivity (CWP) propose average coefficient (Kc) values for improving irrigation management under cultivation conditions in Low-Middle São Francisco Valley. was conducted from July 2019 May 2021 a commercial orchard Petrolina, State P...

Enhancing water use efficiency (WUE) is essential for the sustainable and green development of utilization. The conventional Super Slack-Based Measure (CSSBM) model commonly employed to measure WUE, however, it prone underestimating WUE due its exaggeration slack variable. Recognizing need deal with problems involving variable without limitation, we propose an improved Super-SBM (ISSBM) that as...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the most cultivated vegetables in Brazil, where water limitation main cause yield loss. This can be attenuated with application organic solutes, such as ascorbic acid (AA). The objective was to evaluate response sugar plants under AA via irrigation a strategy attenuate deficit. experiment carried out at Centro de Ciências Agrárias Universidade Federal da ...

Abstract Background Nitrogen- and water-use efficiency (NUE WUE) reflect the capacity of plants to take up utilize resources in environments. Although N deposition drought are known affect plant growth persistence, it remains elusive how adjust NUE, WUE their relationship adapt concurrent under context global change. We conducted a field experiment temperate grassland Inner Mongolia, which addi...

Abstract The research was conducted to study the performance of cucumber under protected conditions with different plastic mulches. This experiment in a split plot design, having irrigation levels as main and mulches subplots. revealed that mulching helped maintain soil moisture higher than bare black mulch showed temperature (23.3%) 100% irrigation. Plant height yield also influenced by mulchi...

An essential approach to reduce drought in plants is maximize the use of most limited available resources. The increase water-use efficiency (WUE) important maximally utilize water photosynthesis and growth under water-deficit stress. Both WUE photosynthetic nitrogen-use (PNUE), as indices resource-use were studied mustard (Brassica juncea L.) grown conditions with low-N (100 mg N kg−1 soil) su...

The objective of this study was to explore the effects plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), strain Bacillus licheniformis, with softwood biochar amendment on potato growth and water use efficiency (WUE) under a deficit irrigation (DI) regime. A pot experiment conducted in greenhouse. results showed that PGPR improved leaf gas exchange rates, including photosynthesis rate, stomatal condu...
