Climate change and abiotic stresses are
becoming more prevalent day by day in all over the
globe. This year, it has been observed high rainfall
and floods in Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra and
North Eastern states and also very poor and
unevenly distributed rainfall in various parts of
country includingWestern and CentralMaharashtra
which received less than 400 mm rainfall since onset of monsoon. This caused
delay in sowing of kharif crop and resulted drought stress at vegetative growth
stage of the crops. In this scenario ICAR-NIASM is working for mitigation and
adaptation of abiotic stresses in crop plants by various techniques like use of
plant bio regulators for mitigating water stress in onion, use of phonemics tools
for screening of abiotic stress related traits in plants and use of stress mitigating
microbes in crop plants. Apart from this, efforts have been made to develop
herbal garden consisting of hardy and local species of medicinal and aromatic
plants to identify the alternate and subsidiary crops for abiotic stress prone areas.
Efforts have been made on development of human resource by educating
and training the pomegranate farmers by conducting one day programme on
pomegranate, workshop on organic cultivation of sugarcane, Summer School
on climate change and abiotic stress management for doubling the farmers
income. Apart fromresearch activities, ICAR-NIASMactively involved in Tribal
Sub Plan programmes and conducted trainings for tribal farmers of Nadurbar
district of Maharashtra, Mera Goan Mera Gaurav and Swatch Bharat Mission
etc. ICAR-NIASM, Baramati had its first QRT meeting under the Chairmanship
