Abstract excerpt
Common bean productivity in arid and semi-arid regions is frequently constrained by water deficit and micronutrient limitations. This study aimed to (i) quantify the effects of deficit irrigation and foliar micronutrient application on growth, yield, and water productivity, and (ii) elucidate the physiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying genotype-specific drought tolerance. Field experiments were...
