Abiotic Stress
Abiotic stress refers to the negative impact of non-living environmental factors on plant growth, development, and productivity. Unlike biotic stress (caused by pests, diseases, or pathogens), abiotic stress results from physical and chemical factors such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, heavy metals, and poor soil conditions. These stresses are major constraints in agriculture, reducing crop yields by up to 50-70% in some regions.
