Effect of waterlogging on photosynthesis and growth of finger millet (Eleusine coracana)
Eri Maai
Abstract:Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) is an important cereal crop grown in most parts of Asia and Africa owing to its ability to adapt to stressful environments. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of waterlogging on photosynthesis and growth of finger millet. Plants were subjected to waterlogging by keeping pots filled with water from June 16 (transplanting) until November 12 (harvesting) in 2021 in Tokyo. After being subject to 13 days of waterlogging, net photosynthetic rate (Pn) … Show more
