Detailed explanation-1: -When a plant is properly hydrated, there is enough water pressure to make the leaves strong and sturdy; when a plant doesn’t get enough water, the pressure inside the stems and leaves drops and they wilt. Plants also need water for photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water stress adversely impacts many aspects of the physiology of plants, especially photosynthetic capacity. If the stress is prolonged, plant growth, and productivity are severely diminished.
Detailed explanation-3: -Symptoms of nutrient deficiency may include stunted growth, death of plant tissue, or yellowing of the leaves caused by a reduced production of chlorophyll, a pigment needed for photosynthesis. Nutrient deficiency can have a significant impact on agriculture, resulting in reduced crop yield or reduced plant quality.
Detailed explanation-4: -Short answer…it dies. Water is needed for photosynthesis, the process by which a plant uses sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into energy! The byproduct of this process, lucky for us, is oxygen.
