Abstract/Description: | Coping with weather extremes in Agriculture The last decade saw several records in terms of extreme weather events in India. The decade recorded highest maximum temperatures and highly skewed rainfall pattern. Different parts of the country have experienced long dry spells and severe floods simultaneously. More importantly, the intra seasonal variability in rainfall has increased. In several parts of the country, the number of rainy days are decreasing without change in the annual rainfall which is leading to more intense rains, accelerated soil erosion and floods. This is resulting in increased pest and disease incidence and posing major challenges in managing our natural resources. Going by the global models, the extreme weather events are only to increase further in future. Much of our location specific research information has been generated for a particular rainfall pattern and temperature regions. The new challenges posed by droughts and floods in the same season have to be addressed with a new approach to research and technology transfer. We have to evolve plant material and technologies which can cope with prolonged dry spells and water logging in a short span of four months. While such strategic research has to be carried out on a long term basis, we need to also apply the readily available technologies for drought and flood management in the farmers’ fields and enable them to cope with such extremes. With this in view, CRIDA has taken up the responsibility of compiling all the available information in the country for coping with drought, floods, heat wave, cold wave, frost, cyclone etc.These plans are being prepared for all the districts in the country in collaboration with the State Agricultural Universities, Departments of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. Once such plans are ready, it is hoped that the district administration will be better equipped to handle weather extremes in the country. Dr. B. VENKATESWARLU Director, CRIDA |
