Effects of Water Retaining Agent on the Growth and Water Use Efficiency of Hemarthria compressa

Article Preview

Abstract:

The application of water retaining agent could evidently improve water use efficiency. The WUE was increased with the duration of using water retaining agent, compared with the control, it increased 5 to 11 times with the duration of 8 to16d, and the growth (eg. height, the ratio of shoot to root, and yield et al) and physiological indices (eg. root activities and chlorophyll contents) were not affected. Moreover, compared with the control, the proline content increased 3 times, which showed that the application of water retaining agent improve the drought resistance, and the maximum threshold was 16d for keeping the normal growth of Hemarthria compressa in this study.
