Production of oilseed crops are decreased with the fast rate of drought stress. So how to reduce the drought stress in pulsed.
Oil seed crops grown on main field .Due to sowing on marginal land proper management could not takes place and developed multi stress crop varieties
Most of the osmo-protectants such as kaolinite, glycine betain and even salicylic acid and thio urea have benefitted in stressed environments.
There is need to introduce drought tolerant varieties and suitable production system including appropriate plant protection measures. Quality seeds are required to be made available to farmers.
Drought stress could also be improved through increase water use efficiency.
One of the strategy recommended to tackle the drought during the rabi linseeds is to change the soil properties. By applying hydrogel polymer the water holding capacity increases. This could help towards drought stress.
For drought stress induction, seed priming, growth hormones, osmoprotectants, silicon (Si), selenium (Se) and potassium applicationare worth using under drought stress conditions in plants. Seed size played a role in the response of oilseed to drought, but it depended on biotype and stress level imposed. The single top consideration was yield, and disease resistance, stalk quality, genetic traits, and availabilitywere other important factors. Environmental factors such as temperature, light, pH, and soil moistureare known to affect seed germination.
