India, locations in south east Asia, a swathe across sub-Saharan Africa, much of southern
and eastern Africa, and a few locations in Latin America (Fig 1). Semi-arid tropical regions
are characterized by unpredictable weather, long dry seasons, inconsistent rainfall, and soils
that are poor in nutrients. Sorghum, millet, cowpea, chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut are
the vital crops that feed the poor people living in the SAT.
Environmental stresses represent the most limiting factors for agricultural productivity.
Apart from biotic stresses caused by plant pathogens, there are a number of abiotic stresses
such as extremes temperatures, drought, salinity and radiation which all have detrimental
effects on plant growth and yield, especially when several occur together (Mittler 2006).","2011",,,,,,"InTech",,"247-264",,,,,,,,,,,"TRUE","978-953-307-492-4",,"Biomass - Detection, Production and Usage","Matovic","D","","","",,"http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Plant+Biomass+Productivity+Under+Abiotic+Stresses+in+SAT+Agriculture+&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&as_sdt=1.&as_sdtp=on&as_sdtf=&as_sdt","author",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
