Irrigation Criteria for Drip-irrigated Onions [PDF]
Long-day onion (Allium cepa L. `Vision') was subjected to five soil water potential (SWP) treatments (–10, –20, –30, –50, and –70 kPa) using subsurface drip irrigation in 1997 and 1998. Onions were grown on 1.1-m beds with two double rows spaced 0.56 m apart and a drip tape buried 13 cm deep in the bed center. Soil water potential was maintained at the

Drought is a major cause of crop losses across agricultural regions. Rhizosheath formation enhances plant resistance to drought. Polyploids may tolerate stress more effectively through increased interactions with bacteria. However, the contributions of tetraploid rice associated microbiota to rhizosheath formation under soil drying remain unclear ...
