Abstract

In this study the effects of zinc sulfate and gibberellin on agro physiological of white bean under water deficiency were studied. Therefore, an experiment was conducted in a split-split plot design based on a randomized complete block with three replications in two places. The experimental factors included three irrigation levels, spraying of zinc sulfate in four levels and two levels of non-spraying and spraying of gibberellin. Analysis of measured data indicated that the water stress had a significant effect on all traits, except proline amount and 100 seeds weight. Spraying of zinc sulfate showed a significant effect on all traits except carotenoid value. Application of gibberellin had a significant effect on all traits except ion leakage, carotenoids, number of seeds per pod and grain yield. The interaction effect of stress×zincsulfate×gibberellin was significant on all traits except number of seeds per pod. In addition, comparison of means at 5% level, showed that application of 1.5 ml L-1of zinc sulfate plus gibberellin improved bean biochemical properties. Under optimum water level, using of 4.5 ml L-1of zinc sulfate and under severe water stress conditions, using of 4.5 ml L-1 of zinc sulfate plus gibberellin are recommended for obtaining the maximum crop performance.
