METHODS TO INDUCE DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN CROPS

摘要

The present invention is directed to methods for improving drought stress tolerance of a cereal grain comprising applying an effective amount of at least one gibberellin to the cereal grain during early vegetative growth stage. The present invention is also directed to methods for improving yield of a cereal grain comprising applying an effective amount of at least one gibberellin to the cereal grain during early vegetative growth stage.
