Abstract:
      Under water stress condition, the response rule of spring maize photosynthesis and yield-driven mechanism was explored with chemical integrated or single regulation technology, combined Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and Fulvic acid (FA). Randomized block design was set as CK, SAP, SAP+FA, and FA, and each group had three replications. The results indicated that SAP was the major factor to regulate soil moisture content, which had been enhanced by 12% from CK. The chemical reagents had their specific effective durations. SAP played a big role during the entire growth period of maize, while FA promoted photosynthesis mostly during the middle and late jointing stage. SAP+FA ultimately resulted in yield increases of 21.3%, 9.3% and 11.7% compared with CK, FA and SAP, respectively, showing an agreement with the photosynthetic efficiency.
