Abstract

In view of increasing challenges posed by abiotic factors owing to changing environmental conditions, the total production of vegetables are likely to get significant setback, which has potential to give a ruinous blow to the efforts being taken for food security. In this context, understanding various stresses by vegetable crops and devising and adopting the innovative means for their timely and effective mitigation would be a pragmatic approach in order to better equip farming communities against such impending challenges. The present review is a small yet noteworthy action towards sensitizing the stakeholders about imminent threats proffered by environmental stresses to a successful vegetable crop production.
