Abstract

Drought is a multidimensional complex stress, simultaneously disturbing the physiological, morphological, biochemical, and molecular states which control the growth and quality of the crop and ultimately crop productivity. Black gram (Vigna mungo) is one of the important pulse crops grown throughout India. The present study was aimed to assess the changes in growth, photosynthetic pigments and biochemical properties under drought stress. The pots were filled with a homogenous mixture of garden soil containing red soil, sand along with farmyard manure in the ratio of 1:1:1. The pots were arranged in Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD). The drought stress given on 2, 3 and 4 DID (Days Interval Drought), then one-day interval irrigation on groundwater was kept as control. The plant samples were collected on 14, 24 and 34 DAS. The results showed the root length was increased and shoot length and pigments reduced and biochemical also increased except protein in all treatments when compared to control at increasing plant maturity.
