Drought resistance in Kava
Drought resistance in kava refers to the plant's ability to survive and maintain growth during periods of low water availability. It involves adaptations like deep root systems that access underground moisture, reduced leaf size to minimize water loss, and mechanisms to conserve water within the plant. These traits enable kava to withstand dry conditions without significant damage, ensuring it can grow in areas with limited rainfall or during dry seasons. Drought-resistant kava is valuable for cultivation in regions prone to water scarcity, helping farmers maintain yields despite challenging environmental conditions.
