Descrizione Increasing Crop Production Via K Spray, The Cheapest Way To Prosperity
Soil salinity is a huge problem for crop production as it destroys the normal growth and development of crop plants, resulting in significant reduction in yield. Wheat is among the most important cereals and is the staple food of many countries throughout the world. However, its production is quite low in many countries due to high levels of soil salinity. In addition to these, low yield of wheat also seems to be directly linked with low use of fertilizers. Wheat production can be increased by the proper use of fertilizers. Among different fertilizers, the use of potash fertilizers is being emphasized as they have good net effect on the production of crops. Commonly, there are two compounds which can be used as potash fertilizers, i.e., Sulphate of Potash (SOP) and Muriate of Potash (MOP). Not much attention has been paid till date to find out the effect of foliar application of SOP or MOP on growth of wheat plants under saline conditions. So the aim of the present work was to study the importance of foliar application of SOP and MOP on the morphological, biochemical and yield attributes of wheat plants grown under salt stress
