most nutrients are absorbed by plant roots as ions and water is the medium of transport. Under well irrigated conditions when soil water potential is high, the absorption and transport of water and nutrient are higher. Drought stress decreases nutrient transport by diffusion and mass flow to the root surfaces and nutrient absorption by roots, which is influenced by water potential. Under water stress, roots are unable to take up nutrients from the soil because of lack of activity of fine roots, water movement and ionic diffusion of nutrients. Drought influences nutrient uptake not only via effects of nutrient availability at the rhizoplane but also by altering nutrient capability of mycorrhizal or nonmycorrhizal roots [40].
