The study of plant physiology is of great importance to a range of professionals, including plant physiologists, agronomists, horticulturists, ecologists, and biochemists. This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the various techniques used to study plant processes. It covers topics such as crop physiology, stress testing, water potential and flow in plants, gas measurements, growth equations, and plant product estimations. Additionally, the book also includes discussions on climate change and the use of phytotron and rhizotron.

The book is intended to help readers understand the latest procedures used to address problems in plant physiology. The results presented are based on fundamental principles of physics and are designed to be used in conjunction with a standard text on plant physiology. The book includes brief explanations of the elementary principles underlying the techniques discussed. The chapters on hormones, tissue culture, and seed technology are particularly useful for students. Overall, it is hoped that this book will serve the needs of students, teachers, and researchers in the field of plant physiology.
