Abstract:
The planet is facing the challenge of drought as a result of changing climate patterns. Drought is becoming a serious downside for barley production because major barley-producing countries are located in drier parts of the world and depend on monsoon rain for barley-5 cultivation. In this study, previous works were assessed to explore the effects of drought stress on wheat yield and yield-attributing characters. The plant alters its physio- chemical state. Plant stand, growth charactor, biological yield, grain yield, straw yield, B:C ratio and other yield-attributing characters are all affected by moisture deficiency are impacted, resulting in a reduction in grain yield. The degree of yield loss varies by genotype and crop development stage, and is influenced by a variety of soil, plant, and environmental conditions. Drought stress and its effects are not only a concern of agronomists, but also of plant breeders, due to the relationship between yield and genetic make-up of the crop. barley is the foundation of many food and feed industries, so increasing barley production is essential for the long-term survival of the world's population. The article focuses solely on the effects of drought on yield and yield- attributing factors, as this is a key problem among modern breeders and world leaders.
