Unraveling the Effect of Differentially Applied Manganese on Root Dynamics and Efficiency of Diverse Rice Genotypes

摘要: ABSTRACTIncreasing manganese (Mn) deficiency in soils emphasizes strategies for breeding genotypes with increased Mn efficiency. The present investigation evaluated efficiency of 11 rice w.r.t. basal, foliar, and basal+foliar application field glasshouse conditions. B + F had higher leaf area (LA), SPAD index, root length (RL), surface (RSA) mean half distance between roots (MHDR), ultimately under both growing results correlation analysis depicted strong positive relation grain yield LA (0.60) index (0.53). characteristics viz., RL, RSA, MHDR could, respectively, explain 76%, 77%, 83% variation emphasizing the importance superior geometry regulating mechanism pertaining to differential breeders could select traits better along high programs develop efficient g...
