In this investigation, pot culture experiment was carried out to estimate the ameliorating effect of triazole compounds, namely Triadimefon (TDM), Tebuconazole (TBZ), and Propiconazole (PCZ) on drought stress, photosynthetic pigments, and biochemical constituents of Zea mays L. (Maize). From 30 days after sowing (DAS), the plants were subjected to 4 days interval drought (DID) stress and drought with TDM at 15 mg l -1 , TBZ at 10 mg l -1 , and PCZ at 15 mg l -1 . Irrigation at 1-day interval was kept as control. Irrigation performed on alternative day. The plant samples were collected on 40, 50, and 60 DAS and separated into root, stem, and leaf for estimating the photosynthetic pigments and biochemical constituents. Drought and drought with triazole compounds treatment increased the biochemical glycine betaine content, whereas the protein and the pigments contents chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, total chlorophyll, carotenoid, and anthocyanin decreased when compared to control. The triazole treatment mitigated the adverse effects of drought stress by increasing the biochemical potentials and paved the way to overcome drought stress in corn plant.

“…Salinity causes severe ion toxicity in glycophyte, since Na + is not readily sequestered into vacuoles as in halophytes (Khan et al, 2000). Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world (Kresovic et al, 2014). It is the third most important cereal after wheat and rice in many countries, it is proudly called as " Queen of Cereals and "king of Fodder" and miracle crop (Rajurkar et al, 2011).…”

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the world's leading edible oil and third largest important cereal. In addition to it is used as food for human consumption as well as food grain for livestock. High concentrations of NaCl in soils account for large decrease in the yield of a large variety of crops all over the globe. The objective of the present study was conducted to evaluate NaCl stress on growth and mineral nutrient composition of maize plants. Maize seeds were grown in plastic pots having fine sand. After 20 days of germination, the plants were subjected to seven different concentrations (Control, 25mM, 50mM, 75mM, 100mM, 125mM and 150mM) of NaCl. Plants were analyzed on 15 th day after salt treatment. Factorial experiments in a completely randomized design (CRBD) with three replications were applied. The growth parameters and mineral contents Na, Ca, K and Cl were investigated from saline treated and non saline treated plants. Results indicated that the NaCl stress markedly reduced the shoot and root length fresh and dry masses. Moreover Na + , Cl -content increased with increase in NaCl stress, while Ca 2+ and K + were decreased significantly.

“…A cultura do milho é uma das mais importantes do mundo (Kresovic et al, 2014;Asare et al, 2011) devido a sua composição química, valor nutritivo e o seu potencial produtivo (Fancelli e Dourado-Neto, 2000). Atualmente, sua produção tem-se dividido em duas épocas de semeadura, a de verão ou primeira e semeadura de safrinha ou segunda safra, que se refere ao milho de sequeiro (Garcia et al, 2008).…”

. fabio.marin@usp.br.Artigo recebido em 12/04/2017 e aceito em 05/08/2017 R E S U M O O milho é considerado uma das culturas mais cultivadas mundialmente porem, rendimento da cultura depende da relação intrínseca estabelecida entre a planta e o ambiente em que se encontra, sendo o acoplamento responsável pela intensidade do fluxo de massa e energia entre a interação planta-atmosfera. Objetivou-se analisar a variação do acoplamento (Ω) de milho cultivado no verão e outono a fim de compreender a interação existente entre vegetação-atmosfera. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos, o primeiro na época do outono e os segundos no verão, ambos instalados no município de Piracicaba-SP. O fator de acoplamento (Ω) foi calculado pela equação proposta por McNaughton e Jarvis (1983) e os dados de transpiração para o período do outono foram estimados por meio do modelo CERES-MAIZE. Verificou-se acoplamento da vegetação com a atmosfera na safra de outono devido à ação conjunta entre os componentes aerodinâmicos e radiativos no controle da troca de vapor de água com a atmosfera; na safra de verão houve desacoplamento devido à ocorrência de temperaturas elevadas, o que favoreceu as atividades metabólicas da planta. Concluiu-se que na safra de outono, o acoplamento das plantas de milho com a atmosfera ocorreu com o aumento da velocidade do vento, redução da resistência aerodinâmica e da camada limite foliar, com queda na transpiração; temperaturas entre 25 a 30 °C favoreceram o desacoplamento das plantas de milho com a atmosfera, na safra de verão. Palavras-chave: transpiração, ceres-maize, estômatos. Atmosphere plant-coupling scheme in corn harvest in two times A B S T R A C TMaize is considered to be one of the most cultivated crops worldwide, crop yield depends on the intrinsic relationship established between the plant and the environment in which it is found, and coupling is responsible for the intensity of mass and energy flux between the plant-atmosphere interaction. The objective of this study was to analyze the coupling variation (Ω) of maize grown in summer and autumn in order to understand the interaction between vegetation and atmosphere. Two experiments were conducted, the first in the fall season and the second in the summer, both installed in the municipality of Piracicaba-SP. The coupling factor (Ω) was calculated by the equation proposed by McNaughton and Jarvis (1983) and the transpiration data for the autumn period were estimated using the CERES-MAIZE model. It was verified the coupling of the vegetation with the atmosphere in the fall harvest due to the joint action between aerodynamic and radiative components in the control of the exchange of water vapor with the atmosphere; In the summer crop there was decoupling due to the occurrence of high temperatures, which favored the metabolic activities of the plant. It was concluded that in the autumn harvest the coupling of corn plants with the atmosphere occurred with the increase of wind speed, reduction of aerodynamic resistance and leaf boundary layer, with decrea...
