Abstract

BACKGROUND: Plants are subject to a variety of stressors that will eventually limit their development and yield. However, analysis of the combination of abiotic and biotic stresses is usually disregarded. The combination of stresses can have synergistic or antagonistic effects and, therefore, they require greater clarification for assertive decision-making. In this study, we examined how the interaction between water stress and sugarcane borer injury alters the physiological aspects of sugarcane through gas exchange parameters and foliar reflectance.
