Practical application of crop physiology

• Study the mechanism and sequence of events that occur in plants during their various life processes, response,s and function with a viewpoint 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 requirements is another field where the knowledge can be applied. Such as improvement in biological nitrogen fixation, and selection of proper Rhizobium strains.
• The proper knowledge of the soil-water-plant relationship will enhance the bumper yield of crops.
• Effective and efficient use of plant growth regulators for enhancing growth and productivity is another application of physiological study.
