Drought and Salinity Stress Response in Flower Crops

Abstract

Drought has a greater impact on the productivity of flower crops. Lower water potential, a continuous shortfall in precipitation may be accounted for causing drought stress. As a result of this plants undergo some major physiological changes involving alteration in size and rate of photosynthesis, activity of pigments. Hence, as a result, the yield parameters like size and weight may be observed. This article envisages on effect and impact of salinity and drought on the growth, yield and the quality of flower crops.
