Abstract

In order to investigate the effects of salicylic acid and superabsorbent polymer on yield and yield components in mung bean under different water regimes, a factorial experiment was conducted in complete randomized design with three replications in greenhouse of Razi University. Treatments included drought stress at three levels (30, 60 and 100% of FC), superabsorbent at three levels (0, 0.3 and 0.5% by weight) and salicylic acid at four levels (0, 250, 500 and 750 μM). The results showed that the highest grain yield (20.7 g per plant), biological yield (51.4 g/plant) and number of seeds per plant (79.1) were observed in 100% FC and application of 0.3% superabsorbent and 750 μM salicylic acid and the lowest values (0.13 and 7.5 g per plant and 16.2 seeds per plant, respectively) were obtained in 30% FC and no superabsorbent and salicylic acid treatments. In general, the concentration of 500 μM salicylic acid and 0.3% by weight of superabsorbent could neutralize the effects of severe drought stress.
