VI. Theory
Block 1:
Abiotic Stress
Definition, soil conditions (salinity, alkalinity, ion toxicity, fertilizer
toxicity, etc.), salt stress
Unit I:
Temperature and water stress: Stresses due to water (high and low),
temperature (high and low), symptoms, mechanisms governing
tolerance, associated physiological and biochemical factors, impact on
PSMA crops and produce, changes in phenology and quality.
Unit II:
Stress due to soil conditions and salts: Alkainity, salinity, iron toxicity,
fertilizer toxicity symptoms, mechanisms governing tolerance,
associated physiological and biochemical factors, impact on PSMA crops
and produce, changes in phenology and quality.
Unit III:
Pollution stress: Gaseous pollutants and heavy metals, symptoms,
mechanisms governing tolerance, associated physiological and
biochemical factors, impact on PSMA crops and produce, changes in
phenology and quality.
Unit IV:
Other stresses: Stress due to radiation, wind, nutrients. symptoms,
mechanisms governing tolerance, associated physiological and
biochemical factors, impact on PSMA crops and produce, changes in
phenology and quality.
