Climate change will influence crop distribution and production and increase risks associated with agriculture. Crop productivity has already experienced detrimental impacts, underlining the necessity of taking adaptive measures. Although, in few regions (mainly in temperate latitudes) may experience improved conditions for production. Globally, climate change is expected to reduce cereal production by 1% to 7% by 2060. Both the changing climate and growing population has been increasing the pressure on our food resources. The sustainability of feedable resources is looking difficult in present changing scenario of climate. Almost, more than half of the world’s population, near about 4 billion people eating rice as their staple food (Mohanty, 2014). But on another hand, the changing climate is making it tenacious for rice growing communities to maintain the productivity. So that, there is an urgent need to make a climate suitable genotypes to resist changing climate. Presently, new stress tolerant rice cultivars can help make farmers more resilient against the calamitous effects of climate. Dr. Matthew Morell (Australian scientist), who heads the International Rice Research Institute, Philippines described the climate change ready rice as “the engine of food security” during the delivering the Millennium Lecture at the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation in Chennai, India. Dr. M. S. Swaminathan named rice crop as “the crop of the future” due to its versatility (Environment New Service, 2017).

The official concern for food productivity stagnation calls for a Second Green Revolution involving new hybrid rice and transgenic rice varieties. However, traditional rice landraces prove to be fine tuned to local soil and climatic conditions. Traditional farmer landraces can yield significantly greater in marginal environmental conditions than any modern hybrid variety. Traditional agoecological knowledge and farmer innovations are the best bet to address the food security issue.

Hybrid rice - necessary?

Trials for the effectiveness of Plantmate organic manure and Prime EC Foliar Plant Food for increased yields for selected crops were done in five different Agro-ecological zones and soil types, in Kenya. The approach was executed through controlled greenhouse experiment and in the field. The trials data obtained indicated Plantmate organic manure and Prime EC Foliar Plant Food in combination with half the rate of recommended inorganic fertilizer performed significantly (p<0.05) better than all other treatments. Thus, plots treated with Plantmate organic manure and Prime EC Foliar Plant Food gave higher yields in common beans, French beans, maize, onions, cabbages, capsicum with percentages exceeding 100 compared to the control in most cases. In many soils fertilizers are fixed and rendered insoluble under certain soil conditions such as soil pH. The Plantmate organic manure and Prime EC Foliar Plant Food ameliorated the soil conditions as it interacted with inorganic fertilizer thus increasing its use efficiency by crops. Plantmate organic manure and Prime EC Foliar Plant Food not only increased soil chemical fertility but also improves water use efficiency at low matric potential and generally improves plant vigor and soil health.

Bio-fertilizers are being essential component of organic farming are the preparations containing live or latent cells of efficient strains of nitrogen fixing, phosphate solubilizing or cellulolytic micro-organisms used for application to seed, soil or composting areas with the objective of increasing number of such micro-organisms and accelerate those microbial processes which augment the availability of nutrients that can be easily assimilated by plants. Biofertilizers play a very significant role in improving soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, both, in association with plant roots and without it, solubilise insoluble soil phosphates and produces plant growth substances in the soil.

The Complete Book on Organic Farming and Production of Organic Compost (2nd Revised Edition) Organic farming is a technique that entails growing plants and raising animals in a natural environment. To preserve soil fertility and ecological balance while minimising contamination and waste, this method employs biological materials while avoiding synthetic substances. To put it another way, organic farming is a form of farming that involves growing and caring for crops without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. https://www.entrepreneurindia.co/book-details/188/the-complete-book-on-organic-farming-and-production-of-organic-compost-2nd-revised-edition- Contact us Niir Project Consultancy Services An ISO 9001:2015 Company 106-E, Kamla Nagar, Opp. Mall ST, New Delhi-110007, India.
