Abiotic stress in Chickpea

Nonliving or abiotic agents can indirectly result in plant problems. Additionally, several factors in the plant's environment can produce disease-like symptoms: weather extremes, high winds, high or low temperatures, nutrient deficiencies, physical damage and poor cultural conditions. Frost often damages buds and leaves. Hail can cause leaf spotting or holes. Drought and high winds result in wilting and in extreme cases, browning and curling. Air, water and soil pollution affect plant health and can produce disease-like symptoms.
