The «controlled
watering deficit,» which is what this technique is called, consists of reducing
watering as much as possible during the most resistant phase of cultivation and to increase the supply of
water at the start of the phase of cultivation that is most sensitive to
stress.

stresses induced by high temperature, soil
water and nitrogen
deficits, can be taken into account in the new model.»
Drought
stress leads to
water deficits in crops, which affects crop growth and development and a number of metabolic processes in the plants, such as photosynthesis and primary metabolism
Qin said a primary objective of this study was to determine if this particular type of soil amendment could have a positive impact on plant growth under
stress caused by drought or similar
