EFFECT OF MOISTURE LEVELS ON THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SORGHUM

Abstract

The intensity of transpiration in plants depends on several external factors, including air temperature, wind, relative humidity, soil and climate conditions, solar radiation, soil moisture levels, plant growth stages, and cultivar characteristics. Determining the total water content in leaves is one of the key indicators of plant water supply. If this indicator is studied in conjunction with other processes characterizing the water regime, broader information can be obtained. Studying water exchange in plants in arid regions helps determine the physiological activity based on the reserve water content in the leaves.
