Abstract

Abiotic stress refers to the negative impact of non-living environmental factors on crop growth, development, and productivity. Fruit crops are particularly vulnerable to abiotic stress due to their long growing season, sensitivity to environmental conditions, and dependence on optimum growing conditions for quality and yield. The major abiotic stress factors affecting fruit crops include temperature extremes, drought, salinity, flooding, high light intensity, and heavy metal toxicity. Overall, abiotic stress is a significant challenge for fruit crop production, but with appropriate management strategies, it is possible to minimize the negative impact of these stress factors and maintain high-quality fruit yields.
