New Paradigm for Higher Crop Productivity Through Climate Smart Strategies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Innovative Approaches for Sustainable Development

Abstract

Various, relentless, and site specific impact on farming community are expected with weather alteration. New approaches to climate resilient farming or crop husbandry practices is therefore critical to gaining future foodstuff availability and vagaries of weather goals. Agriculture is a well-known cause as well as a sink of different climate deteriorating factors include greenhouse gases. Therefore it is need of an hour to alter our various farming or allied practices in more climate resilient way to conquer various issues become very challenging. Application of climate smart strategy for higher crop productivity become suitable eco-friendly option to our growers upto certain extent but feasibility become a question mark. This concept leads to different issues mainly reducing level of greenhouse and different harmful gases level in atmosphere, increasing crop productivity in sustainable manner and reinforcement resilience to various weather modification (adaptation). Availability of water and diurnal variation of temperature etc. become critical factor for higher crop growth and production. Various climate-inducted change in soil microbes, insect pest, and weeds variation or shifting in weed taxonomic behaviour in our ecosystem. Unquestionably, various weather or climate induce flux will change the availability of foodstuff and its supply pattern, local competiveness and changing social and economic solidity. Adjustment with the environment is an important aspect that may reorient weather alteration impact on crop productivity. We should reorient our research programme to accurate water supply per unit area, pesticide and nutrient use technology appropriate for marginal to small farmers. Minimum tillage, location specific management option based on modern technique etc. require to be address. Expansion of suitable integrated farming system models for diverse location, kee** in view of farmer’ available resources and its feasibility in context of various crop** system is very much pertinent. Control of insect pest through various climate smart practices mainly based on integrated management aspect or precision farming become very much fruitful in present situation.
