Title:Effects of Polyethylene Glycol(PEG) Simulated Drought Stresson Physio-Agronomic Characteristicsin Myhco Variety of Sorghum BicolorL
Abstract:The present study was aimed at determining the differential interactive effects of Ca/Mg quotient and PEG-simulated drought in Sorghum bicolorat the vegetative stage.Sorghum bicolor collected  variety  Myhco  from  Persabaq  Nowshera  were  sown  in  earthen  pots (lower inside diameter, 18cm upper inner diameter, 20 cm height and 2 cm thickness) filled with  2  kg  of  air-dried  soil  and  silt  (2:1)  having  pH,  moisture  content  and  field  capacity  in triplicates in the green house of the Department of Botany, University of Peshawar in 2019. The designed experiment contains seven treatments each having three replicates, among these treatments  first  three  are  control,  the  second  three  are  treated  Ca/Mg  quotient  4+PEG0.6 Ca/Mg  quotient  4+PEG0.2,  Ca/Mg  quotient  2+PEG0.6,  Ca/Mgquotient  2+PEG0.2, Ca/Mg quotient 0.18+PEG0.6 Ca/Mg quotient 0.18+PEG0.2, while the last three treatments are treated Ca/Mg quotient 0.18+PEG0.2.  Conclusions We conclude that there is a reduction in the agronomy,i.e., leaf area, leaf fresh and dry weight,and asimilar reduction also occurred with all other vegetative parts. There is a clear difference between control and PEG drought,and a greaterreduction is observed in 0.6 MPa drought. The biochemical characters were also affected in the same manner;a clear reduction was observed in chlorophyll, sugar,and protein, and occurred while the Ca/Mg quotient hadno significant effect on Sorghum bicolorL.in Varity myco.
