Sodium propionate (SP), a short‐chain fatty acid, has been widely used as a feed additive to improve fish growth and health status. The current experiment was designed to investigate the effects of dietary SP on growth, enzymatic activities, haematology and immune status of Wallago attu . Fingerlings (initial weight = 8.80 ± 0.58 g) were fed with graded levels of SP comprising 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 g/kg levels for 60...

The challenging impact of drought to agricultural productivity requires the adoption of mitigation strategies with a better understanding of underlying mechanisms responsible for drought tolerance. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of sulfur-based fertilizers on mitigation of drought stress in sunflower. Sulfate-containing fertilizers, viz., ammonium sulfate, zinc sulfate, magnesium sulfate, potassium sulfat...
