Effect of different level of irrigation and chitosan on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) physiological and biochemical parameters

Abstract

Water deficit stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses that affects plant physiological and biochemical traits. Availability of water plays important role in agriculture. In future, population increase along with a higher demand for water for irrigation and industries will put more pressure on water resources. Due to High temperature drought stress increased respiration, photosynthesis and enzyme activity in the plant and Decreased of chlorophyll level due drought stress, Effect of chitosan on physiological and biochemical characteristics of Wheat under different level irrigation for the purpose of an experiment conducted on wheat verity grown under different water stress condition with chitosan applied as a foliar application treat under taken were based on different level of irrigation (100% IR, 80% IR, 60%IR, 40%IR, 20%IR) and Chitosan (100% CHT, 75% CHT, 50% CHT) with over all 20 treatments and three replication with R.B.D. result physiological and biochemical observed statically analysed. Result on physiological and biochemical under water deficit condition was observed. However, treatment four showed best result but the chitosan treated plant perform better than others and the chitosan treated treatments are giving better result.
