Understanding crop physiology offers us with intriguing information and expertise that we can use to improve crop management and productivity. Crop physiology is the study of how plants work in both normal and stressful situations. Many physiological characteristics of cereal crops (wheat, rice, sorghum, and barley) have been examined in Iraq over the previous two decades, with promising results. These included physiological aspects of wheat tillering and their relationship to crop management and grain yield, seed priming of rice and sorghum for better seed germination and field establishment, accurate timing of agrochemicals application (e.g. nitrogen fertiliser and plant growth regulators) based on certain critical growth stages to increase grain yield of wheat and barley, and seed priming of rice and sorghum for better seed germination and field establishment (WUE). The goal of these four case studies was to use physiological approaches to improve cereal management and, as a result, increase grain output. The use of a mix of crop physiology and crop management has resulted in significant gains in grain output in several cereal crops. For each case study, full details of the techniques and accomplishments will be shared. Finally, this strategy may be a solid and practical way to boost crop output while conserving water.
