Soil moisture plays a vital role in the overall plant environment, holding immense significance for the growth and development of plants. Among the various factors present in the soil environment within a specific climatic region, water conditions have the most pronounced impact on plant responses. In fact, the influence of water availability surpasses that of any other individual factor in the soil. When soil becomes excessively waterlogged, detrimental effects start to emerge. One of the major consequences is the inhibition of respiration, which is a crucial metabolic process for plants. Waterlogged conditions hinder the proper exchange of gases, leading to reduced respiration rates in plants. Consequently, this impairment negatively affects the absorption and transport of water and essential minerals required for plant growth. The results of the present investigation shed light on the effects of daily irrigation on plant growth and development. It was observed that the plants subjected to daily irrigation exhibited enhanced flowering, indicating that adequate water availability positively influences the reproductive processes of plants. Additionally, protein synthesis was also found to occur in higher amounts in these irrigated plants, suggesting that sufficient water supply supports the biosynthesis of proteins, which are essential for various plant functions. Overall, these findings highlight the indispensable role of soil moisture in the plant environment, emphasising the critical importance of water conditions for optimal plant growth, development, and overall physiological activities.
