These episode examine the biological and physical impacts of waterlogging on plant health, focusing on the resulting oxygen deficiency that disrupts growth and nutrient uptake. To survive, plants employ adaptive strategies such as developing aerenchyma for oxygen transport and growing adventitious roots to replace damaged systems. Beyond physiology, the texts address pathogenic threats like Phytophthora, which exploit saturated soils to infect vulnerable roots through zoospore chemotaxis. Agricultural and horticultural perspectives provide management solutions, including the use of soil amendments like zeolites and the implementation of effective drainage systems. Intere ...
