Abstract
Drought flooding high temperature salinity and air pollution are major limiting factors to crop productivity in the tropics. The impact of stress on crop productivity has been evaluated using morphological physio-biochemical and yield responses. There is considerable interest among researchers to explore ways in managing environmental stresses to achieve sustainability in agricultural production. Short and long term approaches can be adopted depending on the needs and economy of the cultural practices in the region. Genetic improvement of environmental stress tolerance has always played a key role to achieve sustainability in agricultural systems. Other approaches such as chemical regulation and cultural means however should also be focussed to answer immediate needs of alleviating stresses. This paper will concentrate on the ways in managing abiotic stresses in particular for drought stress.
