Hydrogen peroxide has been used in agriculture as a way to minimize the negative effects caused by biotic and abiotic stresses on plants. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the mitigating effect of hydrogen peroxide on chlorophyll a fluorescence and growth of soursop subjected to salt stress in the rootstock production phase. The study was conducted in plastic bags under greenhouse conditions. The treatments were distributed in randomized blocks, in a 5 × 2 factorial arrangement, corresponding to five levels of irrigation water electrical conductivity—ECw (0.6; 1.2; 1.8; 2.4 and 3.0 dS m^-1) and two concentrations of hydrogen peroxide—H₂O₂ (0 and 20 μM), with four replicates and two plants per plot. Irrigation water salinity hamper the quantum efficiency of photosystem II in soursop plants, at 120 days after sowing and it inhibits the growth of rootstocks in the period from 80 to 140 days after sowing. Hydrogen peroxide applications at concentration of 20 μM minimized the negative effects of salinity on the soursop initial fluorescence and favored the variable fluorescence and quantum efficiency of PSII.

Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide has been used in agriculture as a way to minimize the negative effects caused by biotic and abiotic stresses on plants. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the mitigating effect of hydrogen peroxide on chlorophyll a fluorescence and growth of soursop subjected to salt stress in the rootstock production phase. The study was conducted in plastic bags under greenhouse conditions. The treatments were distributed in randomized blocks, in a 5 × 2 factorial arrangement, corresponding to five levels of irrigation water electrical conductivity—ECw (0.6; 1.2; 1.8; 2.4 and 3.0 dS m^-1) and two concentrations of hydrogen peroxide—H₂O₂ (0 and 20 μM), with four replicates and two plants per plot. Irrigation water salinity hamper the quantum efficiency of photosystem II in soursop plants, at 120 days after sowing and it inhibits the growth of rootstocks in the period from 80 to 140 days after sowing. Hydrogen peroxide applications at concentration of 20 μM minimized the negative effects of salinity on the soursop initial fluorescence and favored the variable fluorescence and quantum efficiency of PSII.
