Abiotic Stress and Plant Physiology, Volume 02: Productivity, authored by Amitav Bhattacharya, serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding how abiotic stress factors, especially water scarcity, affect the growth and productivity of major crop species. This hardback volume delves deep into the various abiotic stresses that limit agricultural output globally, providing insights into the physiological mechanisms that govern plant response to environmental stressors. It discusses the genetic improvements that enhance yield potential, especially under adverse conditions of drought and nitrogen deficiency. The book is structured to cover an array of topics, including the physiology of grain legume yield, the interplay of photosynthesis under intercropping conditions, growth regulators' roles, plant water relationships, and the effects of pesticides on plant physiological processes. By integrating current research and discoveries in plant physiology, this volume aims to equip researchers, agronomists, and agricultural policy-makers with essential knowledge for addressing the challenges posed by abiotic stress.

Abiotic stress factors, such as limited water availability, frequently restrict the growth and productivity of significant crop species. The most significant abiotic stress factor limiting crop growth globally is the scarcity of water. Although genetic improvements in yield potential are most evident in optimal environments, they also lead to increased yields under drought and nitrogen deficiency. These gains are particularly relevant considering that further extensive expansion of irrigated land is not anticipated, and land degradation resulting from intensive agriculture poses a threat to already irrigated areas.
This book aims to encompass all known abiotic stress factors and their respective consequences on various aspects of plant physiological processes.
