In current scenario we are observing change in climatic condition what will be the impact of these climatic change on kharif crops and the rabi crops ?
Answers
Answer:
In Fatuhi Khera, Punjab, crop losses following a deluge in 2009 prompted a switch from growing cotton to paddy in 75% of the acreage that was earlier under cotton. Since paddy withstands water logging better than cotton, farmers see its cultivation as a means to protect their income against losses emanating from excessive rainfall during the monsoon.
Explanation:
India is one of the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate change. It has increased the frequency of downpours as well as the gaps between rainy days during the monsoon, as India spend reported in January 2018 and February 2018.
Extreme rainfall shocks could reduce farmer incomes in the kharif and rabi seasons by 13.7 percent and 5.5 percent, according to the Economic Survey, 2017-18. To reduce the impact of these shocks and to double farmer incomes, as the government wants to, the following are vital, according to Whitbread: “adequate support by way of know-how and practical assistance for adoption of drought or heat tolerant crop varieties (cultivars), soil and water conservation technologies, changing sowing dates and so on”.
