| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted in research field and laboratory of Crop
Physiology and Ecology Department, Hajee Mohammad Danesh science and
Technology University (HSTU), Dinajpur during the period of December 2015 to
May 2016 to study the effect of non-irrigated water stress on morphological and
yield characteristics of four maize varieties (BARI hybrid maize-7, Golden Star,
KC 505 and Fortune Gold). The maize varieties were tested under well watered
and non-irrigated water stress condition to evaluate morphological and yield
performance of maize in relation to water stress. The experiment was conducted
in a split plot design with three replications. Based on relative injury (%) variety
BARI hybrid maize-7 might be considered as drought tolerant, whereas, variety
Fortune Gold was considered as drought susceptible and other two varieties viz.
KC 505 and Golden Star were moderately drought tolerant. The combine effects
of growing conditions (water level) and maize varieties significantly influenced
length of leaf blade, tassel length, plant height, single plant weight, relative leaf
water content, number of fertile cobs per plant, number of row per cob, number
grains per cob, single cob weight, weight of seeds per cob, 100-seed weight,
single plant weight as well as grain yield. Two hybrid varieties (BARI hybrid
maize-7 and Golden Star) showed relatively better performance under nonirrigated water stress condition in those morphological and yield characters
compared to other varieties (KC 505 and Fortune Gold). Based on drought
susceptibility index BARI hybrid maize-7 and Golden Star were found as
comparatively drought tolerant than the other varieties (KC 505 and Fortune
Gold). | en_US |
