Abstract
Salinization is raising the adverse effects of drought stress in coastal areas because of freshwater shortage for irrigation. This study investigates the growth responses and recovery of sugarcane affected by individual and combined drought and saline stress at the early growth stage. The experiment was conducted with four treatments: control, drought, saline, and saline-drought stress. Drought and saline stress individually reduced the growth parameters of sugarcane including plant height, leaf number, leaf area, SPAD, and dry matter accumulation. The detrimental effects became severe as the combination of these stress. The recovery from drought and saline stress was observed especially in SPAD, and the dry weight of leaves and roots. The growth of the stalk was more sensitive to stress compared to leaf and root. Less recovery in biomass was recorded in severe stress treatments. This study may support the helpful information to build up the irrigation strategy for sugarcane in saline-drought stress areas.
