BLOSSOMING BENEATH THE DROPS: UNRAVELING THE GROWTH DYNAMICS OF CAPPARIS SPINOSA VAR. INERMIS ACROSS DIVERSE IRRIGATION LEVELS
Keywords:
Abstract
This study explores the intricate growth dynamics of Capparis spinosa var. Inermis under diverse irrigation levels, shedding light on the plant's response to varying water regimes. Employing a comprehensive approach, we investigated key physiological and morphological parameters to unravel the nuanced interplay between irrigation and growth. Our findings provide valuable insights into optimizing water management practices for the cultivation of Capparis spinosa var. Inermis, contributing to sustainable agriculture and ecological conservation.
