Abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, flooding,
heat, cold and freezing have negative impact on
agriculture and threaten food security. Industrialization,
urbanization and climate change further exacerbate the
detrimental effects of these stresses on realizing crop yield.
Agriculture needs significant increase in crop productivity
to satisfy the expected growth in demand for food for
growing population. Anticipated more frequent extreme
weather due to changing climate scenario requires adaptation of crop plants to multioccurrence
abiotic stresses, hence sustaining the food security. The constraints of food
security and agricultural productivity encourage researchers to develop climate resilient
crop varieties. ICAR-NIASMhas taken lead to carry out research to deliver technologies
for managing various kinds of abiotic stresses employing basic and strategic research.
Agronomic, genetic, biochemical and omics approaches are being used for mitigation
and enhancing adaptation of crop plants to these stresses.
As Director of this new and unique institute, there are many challenges and
responsibilities to create best research facilities in order to utilize potential of young
scientific staff inmaking strategies formanagement of abiotic stresses. ICAR-NIASMhas
started basic and strategic research at morphological, physiological, biochemical and
molecular levels to complement applied research. Many important events and training
programmes have been organised during last sixmonths such as Agricultural Education
Day; World Soil Day; Model training course for Officers of State development
departments/participants of ICAR, SAUs and KVKs, Republic Day; Signing MoU for
collaborative research on abiotic stress management in grapes between ICAR-NIASM
and MRDBS, Pune; Inauguration of Fish Research Farm; Advanced training on
‘Application of plant phenomics tool for assessing responses of crop plants to drought
and high temperature’ and ‘Characterization of abiotic stress responses in field and
horticultural crops through hyperspectral remote sensing’; Celebration of 10thFoundation
Day of ICAR-NIASM; NICRA review meeting; Krishi Mela at village Waghoshi under
Mera GaonMera Gaurav; Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and activities under Tribal Sub Plan.
