About Lesson
- Study the mechanism and sequence of events that occur in plant during their various life processes, responses and function with a view point of improving plant growth in agriculture, horticulture and forestry.
- In horticulture and agriculture along with food science, plant physiology is an important topic relating to fruits, vegetables, and other consumable parts of plants.
- Understanding the biochemical processes is key to improving crop yields or modifying the physiology of a plant to make it more tolerant of diseases, pests, drought, or other adverse conditions.
- The control of soil fertility, pollution and mineral requirement is another field where the knowledge can be applied. Such as improvement in biological nitrogen fixation, selection of proper Rhizobium strains.
- The proper knowledge of soil-water-plant relationship will enhance the bumper yield of crops.
- Effective and efficient use of plant growth regulators for enhancing the growth and productivity is another application of physiological study.
