Stress environment is one of the major limiting factors for the crop productivity. Stress can be classified into biotic and abiotic according to the nature of the responsible factor. Abiotic stress refers to the stress caused by water, salt, oxygen, CO2 light temperature, nutrients etc. About 10% of the arable land of the world alone are categorized as free of abiotic stresses. The remaining include 20% under some kind of mineral stress, 26% affected by drought stress, 15% by freezing stress and the remaining area under other type of stresses. Extensive information on various aspects of abiotic stresses has been generated in the recent past. However this information remains scattered. Hence an attempt has been made to bring an exhaustive collection of various stresses among different crops. Seller Inventory # 112977
