Mortensen , L.M. Amsterdam : Elsevier Science Publishers . All plants inhale carbon dioxide through their leaves. When relative humidity levels are too high or there is a lack of air circulation, a plant cannot make water evaporate (part of the transpiration process) or draw nutrients from the soil. Very few crops can perform well when relative humidity is 80% and above. Temperature and relative humidity significantly affected off-host survival of wheat curl mite. While crops like In general it is observed that among all the meteorological parameters, temperature and relative humidity greatly influences the production of crops like wheat, potato, fruits and vegetables in this region. Light intensity, temperature, relative humidity, soil moisture content and various other local environmental factors directly influence crop growth and subsequently the production of crops. The ideal relative humidity for the majority of fruits and vegetables is 90-95 percent; however, root crops, like onions and garlic, will be damaged and decay more quickly at high humidity and should be stored at 65-75 percent relative humidity, if possible. The significance of water is described below: 1.Water is the basic raw material for photosynthesis. Water is the most important climatic factor that is very vital for the existence of plants. processing of agricultural crops (Akanbi et al, 2004) Arable crops are staple agricultural food crops which provide the required nutrients for man and livestock. Silks grow about 1 to 1.5 inches a day and will continue to elongate until fertilized. 17(6), 92-102, December 2020.

Nipponbare) at a plant age of 3 leaves, were cultured for 10 days in a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle, and exposed to 60% (low) or 90% (high) relative humidity during the light and dark period in all combinations. Grain and air properties. When wet rice is exposed to air with low RH the rice grains will release water to the air (drying). PRACTICAL • Visit to agro-meteorological observatory and to record sun-shine hours, wind velocity, wind direction, relative humidity, soil and air temperature, evaporation, precipitation and atmospheric pressure The objectives of this study were to 1) determine if temperature, relative humidity, and mite genotype impact off-host survival of wheat curl mite and 2) determine the effect of WSMV- and TriMV-infected host plants on off-host survival of wheat curl mite. Thefour experimental greenhouses andthe monitoringsystems. Minimum relative humidity 0.666 Mean relative humidity 0.870** **significant at 0.01 level of probability Results obtained from the correlation matrix of climatic variables indicated that total rainfall (TRF) showed a positive relationship with maximum relative humidity, minimum relative humidity, and mean relative humidity. Tropical greenhouses require active evaporative cooling system such as pad-and-fan to ensure a suitable microclimate for crop production. Pp: 118–21. Thus the plants sweat water vapor into the air whenever they breath. Thus, separating heat stress from drought stress effects on pollination is usually difficult. Found inside – Page 79In agriculture, sub-optimal values of temperature, light intensity, and relative humidity can limit crop yield and reduce product quality.

EFFECT OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY ON VIABILITY, MOISTURE CONTENT, AND RESPIRATION OF WHEAT, OATS, AND BARLEY SEED IN STORAGE ' By D. W. ROBERTSON, agronomisty A. M. LUTE, seed analyst, and ROBERT GARDNER, associate agronomist^ Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station INTRODUCTION It is well known that seeds deteriorate more rapidly in humid than When relative humidity is high there is chance for the outbreak of pest and disease. Relative humidity influences the water requirement of crops Relative humidity of 40-60% is suitable for most of the crop plants. The effect of crop rotations on soil characteristics such as pH, organic matter, organic N and extractable P and K has been studied in many field crop rotations. 11. This is because high relative humidity inevitably develops in a relatively tightly closed greenhouse (Cotter and Walker, 1967; Walker and Cotter, 1968a, b; Wolfe, 1970). processing of agricultural crops (Akanbi et al, 2004) Arable crops are staple agricultural food crops which provide the required nutrients for man and livestock. OF). Light intensity directly manipulates the water content of plants, temperature and soil moisture content as well. R. cerasi pupae were exposed to low (4041.7 ± 0.9%), medium (58.3 ± 0.9%) and high (75.6 ± 10% RH) relative humidity conditions during a chilling period ranging from 2 to 8.5 months to assess the effects of humidity on diapause.
