As a most significant cereal crop, maize provides vital nutritional components to humans and
livestock. Drought stress curtails maize growth and yield by impairing several morphological …

Among environmental stresses, drought is the main limiting factor of crop yield. The use of
nanomaterials has been considered a strategy to enhance the drought tolerance of plants …

Global climate change is expected to increase the occurrence and severity of drought
episodes due to increasing temperatures and evapotranspiration. Therefore, food security in …

Water unavailability and shortage are severe problems in agriculture, particularly in loamy
sandy to sandy soil, since they inhibit plant growth, resulting in a low crop yield. Using …

One of the major challenges for agriculture related to climate change is drought. The
increasing temperatures and decreasing precipitation in many parts of the world have …

Maize production in Thailand is increasingly suffering from drought periods along the
cropping season. This creates the need for rapid and accurate methods to detect crop water …

Drought stress can significantly reduce wheat growth and development as well as grain
yield. This study investigated morpho-physiological and hormonal (abscisic (ABA) and …

Intensive irrigation and nitrogen (N) fertilization are often linked to low N-fertilizer efficiency,
and to high emissions of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Efficient irrigation …

Spike characteristics include spike length, total spikelet number per spike, number of fertile
