Abstract:
In order to study the effect of two factors of irrigation deficit (drought stress) and superabsorbent polymer ‎application on morphological characteristics, plant yield and yield components of green bean, two experiments ‎were conducted in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement in greenhouse conditions in ‎Educational- Research Greenhouse, Faculty of Agricultural, Mashhad Branch, Islamic Azad University, ‎Mashhad, Iran during in cropping season 2017-2018. In both experiments: experimental factors were included, ‎superabsorbent polymer in 4 levels (0, 3, 5 and 7 g per kg of soil) and irrigation deficit in 4 levels (20, 40, 60 and ‎‎80 % decrease of soil water weight based on Field Capacity). In the first experiment 3 and in the second ‎experiment, 6 replications were considered. The results of analysis of variance showed that in the first ‎experiment, effect of irrigation deficit, superabsorbent polymer and interaction between two factors had ‎significant effect on the plant height, number of leaf, fresh and dry weight of plant, leaf area, number of pod ‎per plant and fresh pod weight. In the second experiment, effect of irrigation deficit and superabsorbent ‎polymer on number pod per plant, number of grain per pod, grain yield per plant and biomass were significant. ‎But, in the second experiment, interaction between to factors had only significant effect on number of pod per ‎plant, grain weight per plant and biomass. In both experiments, means comparison under the influence of ‎irrigation deficit and superabsorbent polymer showed that with decreasing of 40% moisture from field capacity, ‎all traits were decreased. In general, the results of this study showed that application of superabsorbent polymer ‎caused of decreases the negative effects of drought stress.‎
