9. RAIN SHOCKED INDIAN FARMERS
⢠AUGUST 27, 2008ď Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh received 110 mm
rain fall in a single day ( average rainfall in entire August is 89 mm).
⢠June 28, 2008 ď Mahasamund district in Chattisgarh, received 183 mm rainfall
that day was more than the 150.5 mm rainfall usually received in the month of
June and it was followed by 16 days dry spell.
⢠July 26, 2005 ď a record breaking 944 mm rainfall flooded Mumbai. Mumbai
usually gets 600 mm rain over June and July.
⢠September 2, 2006 ď Barmer district of Rajasthan received 577 mm of rains
over 3 days. This was more than twice the average rainfall in a year. Farmers lost
crops worth Rs. 1, 300 Crores and 75, 000 farm animals.

ďźIn Karnataka under normal rainfall situation July, August and
September months receive good amount of rainfall.
ďźIn the recent years, July rains are decreasing and August rains are
increasing. Because of this normal sowing of crops are affected.
ďźEven rabi sowings are also delayed due to late rains and crops are
facing either excess moisture or deficit of moisture in their life
cycle.

45% of the world.(Foolad,2007)
ď Drought stress is the major abiotic stress for many
Indian states viz. Rajasthan, parts of Gujarat, Haryana
and Andhra Pradesh .
(Mitra, 2001).
ď About two thirds of the geographic area of India
receives low rainfall (less than 1000 mm), which is also
characterized by uneven and erratic distributions.
ď Out of net sown area of 140 million hectares about 68
% is vulnerable to drought conditions and about 50 %
of such vulnerable area is classified as âsevereâ, where
frequency of drought is almost regular.

22. ⢠Different tissues or organs of the plant will
respond differently to drought stress
⢠The pattern of responses that a plant chooses
to trigger has been collectively referred to as
drought resistance
⢠Responses fall into three categories namely
⢠Drought escape
⢠Dehydration avoidance
⢠Dehydration tolerance
â˘
Response of plant to drought stress
(Levitt, J. 1972) 2211/15/2019 Dept of Vsc
23. ⢠As succulent leaves are commercial products in leafy
vegetables like amaranthus, palak and spinach, the drought
conditions reduce their water content thereby reduces their
quality (AVRDC)

â˘In tomato, water stress accompanied by temperature above 28°C
induced about 30-45% flower drop in different cultivars
(Srinivasa Rao 1995).

29. ⢠The severity of flooding symptoms such as wilting and death
of tomato plants increases with high temperature (Kuo et al.
1982).
⢠Flooded soils of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) caused
losses due to rotting at harvest and increased shrinkage in
storage (Thompson et al. 1992).

photosynthetic rates up to some extent, later on with increase

63. Conclusion
⢠Climate change is projected to impact the Agri-horticultural
crops are no exception.
⢠The impacts can be at any stage of crop growth and
development, thus influencing the yield and quality.
⢠Agriculture intelligence system needs to be strengthened.
⢠Hence, there is a need to conduct focused research to generate
information on impacts of climate change and derive its
mitigation options.
⢠Climate change is making scientists review their research
agenda towards Abiotic stress in Agri-horticulural crops.
