Abstract:
      The effects of four chemical materials, including peat, zeolite, rare earth elements, and aquasorb, on physiological characteristics and growth of maize seedlings were studied with pot experiment under water stress. Based on the experimental results, it was indicated that the damage caused by water stress was partly compensated by using these materials, and the drought resistance of maize was increased. The effect of different chemical materials on maize seedlings was different.
