Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In order to investigate the effect of drought stress and the application of chemical and biological fertilizers of potassium and maize cultivars on micronutrient uptake, protein content, and proline changes, an experiment was conducted as a split-plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main factor was three levels of stress treatment, complete irrigation, irrigation cut at 12 leaf stage and irrigation cut at the flowering stage; first subfactor was fertilization at three levels of potassium fertilizer 100%, potassium fertilizer 70% +30% fertile-2 biofertilizer (60g/h) and fertilizer 50% potassium +50% fertile-2 fertilizer (100g/h) and the second …
