Better crop productivity is a result of the proper growth of plants which enhances a better yield in the harvesting season. Some of the physiological growth parameters which influence the growth of plants are – plant hormones and their activity, respiration, photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, photoperiodism, germination of seeds, circadian rhythms, function of stomata, rate of transpiration, dormancy, environmental stress physiology, efficiency of water use, enrichment of soil fertilizer, harvest index, aerobic content, efficiency of nutritional usage, increase in dry and fresh weight, leaf weight, increase in the area of leaves, stem diameter, volume of the tissues and increase in the number of cells to name a few.
