Use of Plant Nutrients in Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Wheat

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Wheat Production in Changing Environments

Abstract

Drought and salinity stresses are serious threat limitations for crop growth, productivity and consequently for sustainable of agriculture. The adversative impacts of drought and salinity stresses can be alleviated via different agricultural practices such as application of crop establishment or application of plant nutrients for maintaining a suitable level of water in plant leaves due to osmotic adjustment and stomatal conductance performance, consequently improving plant growth and productivity. Therefore, the aim of the present chapter is to make a review of the abiotic stress effects on wheat growth and yield and how to ameliorate the abiotic stress in wheat through plant nutrient applications.
