Abstract:
Water stress has a significant effect on yield and quality of soybean through negatively influencing
seedling establishment, growth, phenology and finally yield of soybean. The enhancement of soybean
productivity and quality against water stress, application of proline, glycine betaine and soil application
ofcompost play a vital role for improving the physiological processes. The current review highlights the
physiological responses of soybean during various growth stages under water stress. Additionally, the
review evaluates the mitigation mechanism of the adverse of water deficit stress on soybean through
exogenous application of osmoprotectants as well as soil application of organic amendments. The study
also tried to summarize the current understandings of exogenous application of osmoprotectants such
asproline and glycine betaine, and soil amendments that could be used to minimize the harmful effect of
water stress on seed yield and quality of soybean.
