Foliar Spray of Fe-Asp Confers Better Drought Tolerance in Sunflower as Compared with FeSO<sub>4</sub>: Yield Traits, Osmotic Adjustment, and Antioxidative Defense Mechanisms

Foliar Spray of Fe-Asp Confers Better Drought Tolerance in Sunflower as Compared with FeSO<sub>4</sub>: Yield Traits, Osmotic Adjustment, and Antioxidative Defense Mechanisms

Different techniques are being employed to reduce the adverse effects of water stress on seed yield and quality of crop plants. The current study aimed to improve the water stress tolerance of field-grown sunflower by foliar-supplied ecofriendly iron-chelated aspartate (Fe-Asp) in comparison with Fe...
