This study conducts a comparative analysis of legume plant growth under varied levels of drought stress. Drought stress is a significant environmental factor affecting plant growth, productivity, and overall agricultural sustainability. Legume crops play crucial roles in agricultural systems, providing nitrogen fixation, soil improvement, and food security. Understanding how legume plants respond to drought stress at different intensities is essential for devising resilient agricultural practices. The research involves subjecting legume plants to varying levels of drought stress and monitoring their growth parameters, including biomass accumulation, leaf area, root development, and physiological responses. Comparative analysis across different stress levels provides insights into the adaptive mechanisms and tolerance thresholds of legume plants to drought stress.
