| Abstract/Description: | A study was carried out to assess the diversification of existing agricultural system in the islands using diversity indices and its effect on resilience to environmental changes. It revealed that diversity was high in homestead IFS while it was low for vegetable and arecanut systems. In integrated and diverse systems biotic barriers were created against pest and diseases leading to suppression whereas in other systems the incidence was high. Although vegetable and arecanut based systems exhibited higher value diversity due to market demand but their species diversity and adjustability was low. Because of these reasons, the homestead IFS and coconut based diverse systems were denoted as high to moderately resilient to environmental changes while rice and vegetable exhibited low resilience. |
