“…However, the effectiveness of thiourea and related growth regulators has been reported to depend on plant species, environmental conditions, and concentration of soil salt solution. Thiourea has been reported to improve crop productivity in maize Solanki, 1991, Sahu et al, 1993) and wheat (Sahu and Singh, 1995).…”

Effect of exogenously applied nitric oxide (NO) and thiourea (TU) in combination was examined in maize plants under saline stress. Seedlings of two maize cultivars (DK 5783 and Apex 836) were grown in pots containing soil salinized with 0 or 100 mM NaCl dissolved in irrigation water. Two levels of NO + TU (3 + 400 or 6 + 500 mg/L) were applied as presowing seed treatment or through leaves of 10-day old maize seedlings. Saline stress significantly suppressed plant fresh biomass, leaf water potential and chlorophyll content, but increased electrolyte leakage in both cultivars. However, these reductions were higher in Apex 836 than those in Dk 5783. Both treatments of combined NO and TU as seed soaking or foliar application were effective in mitigating the adverse effects of saline stress on shoot growth. Seed treatments of both levels of combined NO and TU were more effective in terms of improvement in fresh weights of DK 5783 than foliar treatments. Leaf Na + contents increased whereas those of N and P decreased in maize plants under saline regime. Application of Both modes of treatment of combined NO and TU increased the contents of N and P, but decreased that NO and TU through both modes increased Na+ in salt stressed maize plants. The results of the present study indicate that application of NO and TU compounds in combination alleviated the detrimental effects of salinity and increased resistance to salinity in the maize plants by improving plant growth

“…The highest dry matter content (32.60 %) of corm was analysed in treatment T 2 (Thiourea 300 ppm) which was statistically remained at par with treatments T 1 , T 3 and T 4 which had 32.43%, 31.40 % and 31.33 % dry matter content. Sahu and Singh (1995) observed that thiourea affects both carbohydrates and nitrogen metabolism which in turn enhances plant performance and increased dry matter production and yield. The minimum number of cormels per corm (0.67) was recorded on the corms produced in control (T 11 ) which was statistically remained at par with treatments T 9 (1.20), T 3 (1.33) and T 4 (1.47).…”

“…However, it may have more diverse biological activities of SH group and is known to improve photosynthetic efficiency (Hernandez-Nital et al 1983;Sahu and Solanki 1991). Improvement in plant growth and development due to application of thiourea has also been observed in crops like maize (Sahu et al 1993), wheat (Sahu and Singh 1995) and pearl millet (Parhiar et al 1998). As rainfed clusterbean often experiences drought under Indian arid condition need was felt to explore the possibility of drought amelioration through thiourea application.…”

A 2-year field trial was conducted to study the effects of seed treatment (500 ppm) or foliar application of 1000 ppm thiourea (at 25 and 40 days after sowing) or a combination of these, on growth, yield, net photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism of clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) grown for two consecutive years (1999 and 2000) under rainfed conditions of the Indian arid zone. Thiourea application either as pre-sowing seed treatment or as foliar spray significantly increased plant height, leaf area, dry matter production and seed yield as compared to the untreated control plants during both the years. However, maximum favourable effects were obtained with combined application of seed treatment and foliar spray. The beneficial effects of thiourea were attributed to its role in significantly increasing the net photosynthetic rates and the concentrations of total chlorophyll and starch in the leaves. Thiourea also reflected a positive role in enhancing nitrogen metabolism as it significantly increased nitrate reductase activity and concentration of soluble protein in the treated plants. It has been concluded that seed treatment with thiourea followed by foliar spray could significantly improve growth, yield and water use efficiency of rainfed clusterbean under arid conditions due to enhanced photosynthesis and more efficient nitrogen metabolism.
