Opis

It is appreciated that lot of work has been done by many crop physiologists and breeders to enhance the tolerance of crops under scarce water conditions to various levels of soil drying and nutrient stress. But the drought stress is still most important yield limiting factor, so that lot of work is still needed to cope with this challenge. The present study was conducted to identify the crop performance and to increase the yield of the wheat crop under deficit water condition by the spray of glycinebetaine (GB) and potassium (K).

O autorze

Did his Ph.D. in 2011 with specialization in Agronomy/Crop physiology from University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan and a part of Ph.D. research from North Carolina State University, U.S.A. His program focuses on environmental stress physiology of agronomic crops to investigate the physiological mechanisms that drive crop stress tolerance.
