Mean performance of agronomic and drought stress related physiological traits
| Environment | Plant height (cm) | Chlorophyll content (SPAD value) | PS II quantum yield | LT (°C) | Days to flowering | Grain yield (g plant-1) | HI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dry land | 175.3b* | 44.59b | 0.751b | 37.06a | 81.89a | 20.79b | 0.35b |

| LSD (0.05) | 5.72 | 0.71 | 0.0045 | 0.58 | 0.91 | 0.88 | 0.1 |
SPAD = chlorophyll content; LT = leaf temperature; HI = harvest index; *Means followed by same letters in a column are not significantly different at LSD (P < 0.05); †Values in the parentheses indicate the mean range.
