Impact of Ssuper Absorbent Polymer and Irrigation Management on Seed and Essential Oil Yields of Cumin
Two field and laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and irrigation management on seed and essential oil yields of Cumin, as well as the impact of water quality on water holding capacity of SAP. Salinity had a negative effect on the amount of...
