Popis: IntroductionThe aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of soil conditioners on physiological responses (stomatal resistance, leaf temperature, chlorophyll, percentage of root colonization, carotenoids, proline) of Lycium depressum Stocks to drought stress. The experiments were performed in semi-controlled greenhouse conditions.Materials and MethodsThe experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design including the main factor, irrigation at 4 levels (100, 75, 50 and 25% of field capacity) and the sub-factor of soil conditioners. In each combined treatment, 5 repetitions of irrigation and soil remediation and a total of 160 pots were used. Subsoil treatments including hydrogel and nitrobacter, mycorrhiza and zeolite were added to each pot. 500 cuttings of the target plant were planted in the greenhouse. The grown cuttings were transferred to the pots where the experiments were carried out. At each irrigation level, 40 pots containing 4 kg of vegetation soil of the target species were considered and the agricultural capacity (FC) of the target soil was determined in the soil laboratory. A total of 160 pots were placed in the greenhouse for testing. The main treatment of the experiment included irrigation levels (100, 75, 50 and 25% of the crop capacity) and sub-treatments of soil conditioners including Stacosorb hydrogel in the amount of 3 grams per kilogram of soil in each pot in the lower part of the plant roots. Zeolite with the industrial name of mineral zeolite (Mineral Zeolite) was added in the amount of 8 grams in each pot in the lower part of the root of the plant. Nitrobacter (a collection of strains of Azotobacter sp, Azospirillum sp and Bacillus sp with the brand name Nitrobacter Diane) was added to the amount of 3 cc in each pot in the upper region of the plant roots. Addition of mycorrhiza (the mycorrhiza used in this experiment was Glomus mosseae and was prepared as soil containing mosseae fungi) in the amount of 10 grams per pot in the lower part of the plant roots. After adding soil conditioners, irrigation was done according to the crop capacity in 4 irrigation levels, in the determined treatments.Results and DiscussionMeasurement of physiological characteristics showed different responses in each of the variables. Carotenoid changes in 50% irrigation showed the lowest value (p
