In this study the effects of zinc sulfate and gibberellin on agro physiological of white bean under water deficiency were studied. Therefore, an experiment was conducted in a split-split plot design based on a randomized complete block with three replications in two places. The experimental factors included three irrigation levels, spraying of zinc sulfate in four levels and two levels of non-spraying and spraying of gibberellin. Analysis of measured data indicated that the water stress had a significant effect on all traits, except proline amount and 100 seeds weight. Spraying of zinc sulfate showed a significant effect on all traits except carotenoid value. Application of gibberellin had a significant effect on all traits except ion leakage, carotenoids, number of seeds per pod and grain yield.The interaction effect of stress×zincsulfate×gibberellin was significant on all traits except number of seeds per pod. In addition, comparison of means at 5% level, showed that application of 1.5 ml L -1 of zinc sulfate plus gibberellin improved bean biochemical properties. Under optimum water level, using of 4.5 ml L -1 of zinc sulfate and under severe water stress conditions, using of 4.5 ml L -1 of zinc sulfate plus gibberellin are recommended for obtaining the maximum crop performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
