Plant stress management focuses on addressing factors that inhibit plant growth, such as drought, pests, extreme temperatures, and nutrient deficiencies. Effective strategies to manage stress include the selection of drought-resistant or pest-resistant plant varieties, use of biostimulants, and employing precision agriculture techniques for real-time monitoring. Technologies like remote sensing and soil moisture sensors help detect stress signals early, allowing timely interventions such as optimized irrigation or nutrient management. Integrated pest management (IPM) can also reduce stress caused by pest infestation through eco-friendly practices. Overall, plant stress management ensures that crops maintain healthy growth, minimizing losses, and improving resilience against climate-related challenges.
