The persistent occurrence of drought conditions significantly impacts the growth and development of pearl millet. This study aimed to explore how calcium chloride (CaCl<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) regulates the growth of pearl millet when it faces a lack of water. Over two years, field experiments were conducted at the College of Agriculture, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Bahadur Sub-Campus Layyah. During the study, we exposed pearl millet to various foliar applications of CaCl<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (0 mg\/L, 25 mg\/L, 50 mg\/L, and 75 mg\/L) while subjecting it to two different irrigation conditions: full irrigation and drought stress during the booting stage. Results revealed that a significant reduction in the growth (plant height; PH, stem diameter; SD, fresh leaf weight; FLW, stem fresh weight; SFW, stem dry weight; SDW, root fresh weight; RFW, root dry weight; RDW, and plant dry weight; PDW), yield (panicle length; PL, grain per panicle; GPP, grain weight; GW, thousand grain weight; TGW, grain yield; GY, biological yield; BY, and harvest index; HI), and physiological attributes (membrane stability index; MSI, and soil plant analysis development; SPAD) were found under water drought stress condition, while increment in antioxidant level was observed due to low moisture contents in soil. In both years, foliar applied CaCl<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> enhanced all the physiological, growth and yield traits as well as some of the antioxidants like superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Study concluded that a concentration of 50 mg\/L of CaCl<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> is optimal for enhancing all examined attributes of pearl millet under both drought and full irrigation conditions. The results strongly advocate for the use of CaCl<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> as the most effective treatment for the cultivation of pearl millet in arid and semi-arid regions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0310207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]],"date-time":"2024-12-23T18:36:02Z","timestamp":1734978962000},"page":"e0310207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Foliar applied calcium chloride alleviated drought stress in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) by improving growth and yield contributing traits and antioxidant activity"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Tauqeer Ahmad","family":"Yasir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wasif","family":"Azhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qaisar","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Usman Masood","family":"Bhutta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Ateeq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allah","family":"Wasaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mubshar","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8623-1877","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rehana","family":"Riaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"pone.0310207.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"969","DOI":"10.1038\/nbt.3943","article-title":"Pearl millet genome sequence provides a resource to improve agronomic traits in arid environments","volume":"35","author":"RK Varshney","year":"2017","journal-title":"Nature biotechnology"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0310207.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3382","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-21560-1","article-title":"Transcriptomic signature of drought response in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) and development of web-genomic resources.","volume":"8","author":"S Jaiswal","year":"2018","journal-title":"Scientific Reports"},{"issue":"11","key":"pone.0310207.ref003","first-page":"746","article-title":"Positive eating and problem treating: nutraceuticals and cereal-based foods in the 21st century.","volume":"44","author":"AE Sloan","year":"1999","journal-title":"Cereal foods world."},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0310207.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"201","DOI":"10.5958\/0974-4479.2016.00032.0","article-title":"Total antioxidant potential of pearl millet genotypes: inbreds and designated b-lines","volume":"29","author":"MK Berwal","year":"2016","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Agricultural Biochemistry"},{"key":"pone.0310207.ref005","unstructured":"Pakistan Economic Survey.
