IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AREA AND CROPPING PATTERN OF LENTIL
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
The changing climates globally, along with the extreme weather fluctuations are the most threatening challenges of this century to agriculture and allied activities. Lentil is a major international pulse crop and possesses the second highest ratio of protein per calorie. From past few years, there has been great shift in cropping pattern under lentil resulting in decrease in area, due to the changing climate as its reproductive performance is particularly affected because it has poor tolerance for very high temperature and is very sensitive to water logging. Hence, in this changing climatic scenario, condition will become much more adverse, reinforcing the need for the present investigation for the adaptation of lentil crop to climate change. Adoption of production practices under changing climate scenario can help to mitigate the adverse impact of climate change to some extent. The present paper focuses on the observations of temperature and rainfall variation and its impact on area and cropping pattern under lentil in Panagar block of district Jabalpur.
