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...

With the goal of determining optimal emitter spacing in drip irrigation, experiments were performed to examine the effects of emitter discharge on the wetted perimeter and spacing of emitters. Four types of soils were investigated using emitter discharge of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 l h −1 . Wetting diameter was measured at six equal time intervals of water application. An equal volume of water was applied. After 1 h of supply of...

Elucidating the physiological mechanisms of the irregular yet concerted flowering rhythm of mass flowering tree species in the tropics requires long‐term monitoring of flowering phenology, exogenous and endogenous environmental factors, as well as identifying interactions and dependencies among these factors. To investigate the proximate factors for floral initiation of mast seeding trees in the tropics, we monitored the expre...
