摘要
Effects of phosphorus and thiourea application (either alone or in combination) were studied on clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba Taub.) plants subjected to water stress by withholding irrigation at pre- and post-flowering stages in pot culture trial. Water stress significantly decreased shoot water potential, relative water content of leaves, net photosynthetic rate, contents of total chlorophyll, starch and soluble proteins as well as nitrate reductase activity at both the growth stages. Application of phosphorus and thiourea or combined application increased most of these parameters. Results revealed synergistic effects of P and thiourea in enhancing net photosynthesis, leaf area, chlorophyll content and nitrogen metabolism leading to significant improvement in plant growth and seed yield under water stress condition.
