changClimate Change Affects Agricultural Production

Greeting!

Describe in detail how agriculture.

Productivity is affected by climate change.Climate Change Affects

Climate change can affect agriculture in several ways including :

Temperature Change.

Changes in the Timing of Rainfall.
Extreme Weather Events.
These changes directly or indirectly affect crop growth, water availability, and overall agricultural production. Now I will try to explain them step by step here.

Change in Temperature.

Recently the paddy crop has been severely affected by severe weather stress and the average yield was negligible due to severe heat stress. Due to extreme heat, the pollination process stopped and the production decreased considerably. Extreme temperatures can significantly reduce rice crop yields. Similarly, if we talk about wheat. So the wheat crop also cannot withstand climatic stress, and the yield may decrease due to temperature changes.

Changes in Rainfall adornments.

Unpredictable rains and changes in rainfall patterns are both detrimental to the crop. In areas that are dependent on rain, if the rains are unpredictable, crop production may be reduced and the cultivation or harvesting schedule may be affected.

Excessive Weather Events.

Excessive weather events such as unexpected heat waves, heavy rains, and heavy rains are on the rise in Pakistan, causing severe damage to crops. Due to this the situation of drought may arise. Weeding is also harmful to the crop because last year my maize crop was severely damaged due to weeding which not only reduced the production of my maize crop but also failed to cover my expenses. Heavy rains can also cause damage, reducing the growth of the crop.

Agriculture in Pakistan is facing two problems. In which heavy rains and prolonged droughts are the two main components of climate change that we are going to brief.

causing severe damage to crops. If the soil is over watered, oxygen supply to the roots can be cut off and the ability to absorb nutrients from the soil is reduced. If the soil becomes depleted of nutrients, it affects crops, for example rice, which is grown in water and can tolerate standing water to some extent. But if too much water can cause yield loss.

Heavy rains cause delay in tillage or harvesting. This prevents the crop from getting the weather it needs and reduces yield. Last year, due to floods in our area, the rice crop was severely affected and the landowners suffered a lot. Floods swept away crops and some crops were destroyed due to prolonged standing water.
