A sociological study on impact of climate change on Tamil Nadu agricultural productivity

Abstract

Agriculture is very delicate to transient changes in climate and to regular, yearly and longer term varieties in climate. While supporting the yield levels, it is critical to enhance the salary, lessen soil debasement, decrease off-cultivate sources of info and adventure neighborhood showcase. An investigation was directed at Agro Climate Research Center, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University utilizing DSSAT edit reproduction model to foresee the impact of environmental change guage for 2010, 2030, 2050 and 2070 on the profitability of real products viz., Rice, Maize, Sorghum, Groundnut, Cotton and Sugarcane. The reproduction was improved the situation the six Agro Climate Zones (AEZ) of Tamil Nadu (aside from slope zone) and four seasons viz., South West Monsoon (SWM), North East Monsoon (NEM), Winter (WIN) and Summer (SUM). Independent of harvest, zones and environmental change situation the anticipated product efficiency was high in NEM pursued by winter sown harvests, where as the mid year sown yield had anticipated with lower yield. The western zone appeared with higher yield for every one of the products pursued by NWZ. The least was anticipated in Southern Zone aside from cotton and groundnut, which were anticipated with lower yield in HRZ.
