 CONCLUSION
Introduction
Climate change is one of the highly “discussed word” over last
decades primarily as it has direct impact on food production and
food security.
 Change in the statistical distribution of weather pattern is
posing a major impact on Agricultural crops particularly on
rainfed crops including Pulses.
Introduction
 Unusual increase in temperature during the growth period especially at
the time of flowering and pod formation results forced maturity and poor
yield of Pulse crops.
 Aberration of rainfall pattern correlated with humidity and associative
impacts facilitate pest- disease infestation and other abiotic stresses like
drought, flood, high salinity, soil acidification, waterlogging etc.
 To meet these emerging challenges of climate change, there is an urgent
need for developing policy framework for implementing approaches for
mitigation and adaptation to combat adverse impacts of climate change.
• Climate change is any significant long-term change in the expected patterns of
average weather of a region (or the whole Earth) over a period of time.
• Apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards the term ‘Climate Change’
has emerged as a major talking point for the environmental scientist.
• Excessive increase in anthropogenic activities such as industrialization,
urbanization, deforestation, mechanized agriculture, change in land use pattern
etc. led to the change in climate over the regions.
Serious impact of Climate Change
• Temperature will continue to rise
• More droughts and Heat waves
• Change in Rainfall Pattern
• More frequent Cyclone with high
strength.
• Increasing Pest and Pathogens
• Water Scarcity and contaminating
water supply
• Climate change scenarios include higher temperatures, changes in
precipitation and higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
• Increased concentration of greenhouse gases like Carbon-di-oxide(CO2),
Water vapour, Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O), HFCs, SF6 which can
entrap solar radiation, are major responsible for elevating Global
temperature.
• According to IPCC (2007), the average surface temperature of the earth
increased progressively by approximately 0.7 degree C over the last 50
years.
Projected Scenario of change in temperature due to global warming by 2100
(Source- IPCC, 2007)
• Based on the projections of IPCC, the mean temperature in India is projected to
increase up to 1.7⁰C in Kharif (July-October) and upto 3.2⁰C in Rabi (November-
March) while rainfall during Rabi season is expected to be increased by 10%
within 2070.
• During our independence, annual per capita water availability was 6042 cubic
meter, which can be reduced to only 1140 cubic meter by the end of 2050 which
shows a chronic water stress yet to be seen in the upcoming days.
• Probability of 10–40 % loss in crop productivity in India expected by 2080–2100 is
attributed to increase in temperature, variable rainfall and its time of occurrence
and decrease in irrigated water supplies.
 Pulses are the main source of protein for
vegetarian population and are traditionally
recognized as an indispensable constituent of
human diet.
 The protein content of pulses are twice that of
cereals (20-25%) and equal to that of animal
protein.
 Being a Food legume, Pulses can fix atmospheric
nitrogen thereby improve soil nutrient status and
also can fit easily in any Cropping system.

Recent Scenario of Pulse Production in India
• India’s domestic Pulse production had been in the
range of 14-18 MT till 2015-16. Since then, several
new policy intervention, technological advancement
uplifted it’s annual average production, takes it
beyond 23 MT.
• In 2017-18,our country achieved highest ever annual
Pulse production ever. But beyond that year, the
growth is downward.
• If we take a peer review, we can observe several
cyclone (e.g. Fani, Bulbul, Amphan), untimely rainfall
in Rabi season occurred in those consecutive years of
2018-19, 2019-20.

• Shift in monsoon and erratic rainfall causes delayed sowing of Kharif Crops (e.g.
late transplanting in Kharif Rice), for which the sowing of Rabi crops also get
delayed.
• Delayed sown crop undergoes terminal heat and drought stress during it’s
phenological growth period which cause forced maturity without even
completing the vegetative growth properly that ultimately hampers Crop yield.
• Increasing post-monsoon rainfall during the month of January and February act
as detrimental factor for Rabi pulses particularly, during it’s reproductive period.

Abitoic Stress
• Abiotic stresses are those that depend
on the interaction between crop and it’s
physical and chemical environment.
• Rainfall distribution, temperature rise
from February onwards, drought, heavy
rainfall at the time of harvesting are
considered as abiotic factors that are
responsible for the less Pulse production.
• The short winter window of the lower
Gangetic plains aggravates the
debilitating effects of late sowing-
related heat stress.

The effect of high temperature and
water deficit
• High temperature and water deficit decrease net photosynthesis during the
period of the constraint, resulting in a reduction of plant growth rate.
• Final seed number and final seed weight depend on plant growth rate during the
flowering period and the seed filling period, respectively. Thus, high temperature
and water deficit indirectly affect seed number and seed weight.(Guilioni et al.
2003; Pellissier et al. 2007).
• Increasing temperature above 23°C results in a decrease in the rate of N
remobilization from vegetative parts to growing seeds. Eventually, temperature
variations can also affect seed N2 concentration, one of the main criteria
determining the quality of grain legume. (Pellissier et al. 2007; Ito et al. 2009)
The effect of high temperature and
water deficit
• Pulses are “ wonderful gift ” of nature for all living being, natural
resources and environment. They have the ability to fix atmospheric
N2 through symbiosis with soil bacteria (Rhizobia) hosted in specific
root organs called nodules.
• But, the process of symbiotic N2 fixation is highly sensitive to
environmental stresses, especially to temperature, water, salinity,
sodicity, acidity, and nutrient disorders.
• Climate change may affect symbiotic fixation either directly by
impairing Rhizobia survival, Rhizobia competitiveness, nodule
formation, growth, or activity, or indirectly by modifying carbon
supply to nodules.

Biotic Stress
• Pulses are prone to major insect-pest and diseases. They cause considerable
damage if proper control measures are not taken.
• Sudden rise in temperature or aberration in normal weather condition make the
Pulse crops susceptible to several biotic stress, viz disease and insect pests.

Weed infestation
• Pulses have slow vegetative growth in the early stages and are poor
competitors to weeds. Weeds are emerging as a major threat in the
pulse cultivation due to their favourable climatic change.

MITIGATION STRATEGIES TOCOMBAT CLIMATIC HAZARDS
• The emerging negative impacts of climatic and environmental changes will put
pressure on productivity and production of field crops particularly pulses
because they are more sensitive to fluctuations due to climate change and
associated factors.
• In such situation, there is a need to develop and implement adaptation and
mitigation strategies to alleviate the consequences of climatic changes and
climatic variability.
• The impact of climate change is complex and no single strategy will address the
issue adequately. A combination technology and policy related interventions are
required to cope up with this hazards. (Venkateswarlu and Shankar, 2009).
A. Breeding Strategies
 Development of Climate resilient crop varieties can be a potential solution to
combat against climatic hazards. Varieties having high osmotic adjustment are
developed.
 ICAR-IIPR have identified such varieties which possess high osmotic adjustment.
These varieties can be grown in the regions where climatic hazards are very
frequent.

Breeding Strategies
Identification of heat tolerant genotypes of pulses have a greater scope in mitigating climate
change situation in future. Recently ICARDA is targeting to produce lentil genotypes having
characteristics such as rapid phonological development, prolonged flowering and pod
development, more WUE, higher harvest index etc. to tolerate terminal heat stress.
 Development of pulse varieties tolerant to different adverse conditions like salinity, alkalinity,
acidity, drought and other biotic stress like pest and disease infestation is highly recommended.
e.g.
• Sweta (ICCV 2), Bharti (ICCV 10), Pusa Chamatkar of Chick pea are resistant to wilt.
• VL Masoor 4, HUL 57, Noori (IPL 81) of Lentil are resistant to rust and wilt both.
• Karnal Chana 1 of Chickpea is salinity tolerant.
• ICP 7035, ICP 8862 are resistant to sterility mosaic disease of Pigeon pea.
• Narendra Mung 1 of Greengram, Pant G186 of Chickpea are tolerant to Heat Stress.
Breeding Strategies
 Pulses are considered to be highly sensitive to photo thermo-periods. Sensitivity
to photo- and thermo-periods is the major factor responsible for high Genotype ×
Environment (G × E) interaction, and yield instability of major pulses across
different environments.
 Therefore, development of photo-and thermo-insensitive genotypes had been
the primary requirement to address the climate risk.

B. Agronomic Strategies
1. Adoption of diversification practice :
 Diversification of farming is an effective approach to reduce the risk associated
with farming in unpredictable environments. It is very much essential in dryland
condition where crop failure is very frequent.
 Crop diversification through mixed cropping and intercropping are very
promising approach that will create efficient resource utilization and enhances
cropping intensities.
 Alternative land use system through agroforestry system, alley cropping, ley
farming etc can utilize the resources in better way and stabilizing pulse
production.
Agronomic Strategies
2. Fallow and conservation tillage :
 The fallow system is designed to conserve soil moisture. It has
other advantages like improved availability of soil nutrients and
the eradication of certain soil-borne pests. Increasing storage of
soil moisture by the fallow system with or without conservation
tillage is standard agricultural practice in dry land farming.
 Conservation tillage is basically meant for minimized tillage
operations(Zero tillage, Minimum tillage, Mulching etc) to
conserve soil structure and to maintain ground cover by mulch,
such as stubble. These practises enhance more water infiltration
by reducing runoff.
 In areas with high rainfall raised bed planting are very good
option.
Agronomic Strategies
3. Maintaining adequate soil organic matter :
 Under changing climatic scenario, the soil organic carbon (SOC) has
been reducing continuously. Agricultural practises that enhance soil
organic carbon must be followed to reduce green house gas
emission(GHGs) and increase carbon sequestration in soil.
 The addition of soil organic carbon improves soil physical, chemical and
biological environment. Pulses have lower fertilizer requirement as they
fix nitrogen hence helps in lowering green house gas emissions.
Agronomic Strategies
4. Improved crop-specific practices:
 Agronomic practices such as tillage, sowing time, planting method, ridge-planting of
kharif / rainy-season pulses, crop geometry, plant population, nutrient and water
management, seed treatment, weed management and plant protection have major
impact on pulse productivity.
 Crop-specific agronomic practices hold tremendous scope to raise pulse productivity
potential in water-stress region under changing climatic conditions.
For example, typical practices involves incorporation of the fertilizers in furrows below
the seed as limited soil-moisture restricts nutrients availability to plants. Further,
judicious use of organic and inorganic fertilizers inputs improves moisture-holding
capacity of soil and increase drought tolerance.
Agronomic Strategies
5. Water Harvesting and Supplemental irrigation :-
 Pulses are mainly confined to rainfed areas, leading to sub-optimal productivity levels.
Therefore, water harvesting mainly in this areas are essential to supply irrigation at least
during critical stages of the crop.
 Micro-irrigation like drip or sprinkler irrigation during flowering period enhances
productivity in Pulses.
Agronomic Strategies
5. Mitigating strategies by using microbial inoculant :-
• The implication of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to conflict the harmful effects of
ecological stresses and enhance plant growth and productivity by direct and indirect mechanisms has
been reported by several researchers.
• According to Grover et al. , certain microbial types may mitigate the impact of soil drought through
production of exopolysaccharates, proline, indoleacetic acid, induction of resistance genes and increased
circulation of water in the plant and the synthesis of ACC deaminase.
• Many microbial inoculants produce an enzyme called ACC deaminase which induce longer roots which
might be helpful in the uptake of relatively more water from deep soil under drought stress conditions,
thus increasing water use efficiency of the plants under drought conditions.
• Such bacterial strain which helps in this regard belong to the genera of Azotobactor, Bacillus,
Pseudomonas and Azospirillum.

C. Government Policy and intervention
• Climate changes are occurring globally and many countries have either
documented the changes or predicted them through climate modeling. Based on
these changes and predictions, respective governments of several countries have
already initiated policy decisions to combat influence of climate change.
• To confront the likely adverse effects of climate change, government of India in
the year 2008 introduced legislative amendment to overcome the impact of
climate change on agriculture and allied activities.
• Realizing the veritable challenge to arable land due to climate change, Indian
Council of Agricultural Research in the year 2010–2011 launched a project
entitled National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA).
Government Policy and intervention
• The NICRA is planned to be a multi-disciplinary project
with the main objective for evolving climateresilient
agricultural technologies. Two important components of
NICRA are as follows:
 Plan and implement strategic research on adaptation
and mitigation.
 Demonstrate climate coping technologies on farmers’
fields to combat adverse impacts of climatic variability.
Government Policy and intervention
• Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), launched on
launched on 18 February 2016 by Prime Minister Narendra
Modi is an insurance service for farmers for their yields. It was
formulated in line with One Nation–One Scheme theme by
replacing earlier existing insurance schemes.
• Major objectives are-
a) To provide a comprehensive insurance cover against failure
of the crop thus helping in stabilising the income of the
farmers.
b) Encouraging farmers to adopt innovative and modern
agricultural practices.
Conclusion
 Climate is the primary determinant of agricultural productivity with direct impact on food
production across the globe. Agriculture sector is the most sensitive sector to the climate changes
because the climate of a region/country determines the nature and characteristics of vegetation and
crops.
 Pulse production programme was brought to centre stage owing their importance from nutrition
point of view and it’s role in economy of our country.
 Though pulse are tolerant to heat and drought stress and requires very little soil moisture to grow
and give good amount of yield ; inadequate and erratic rainfall, unexpected high temperature at
reproductive stage are posing threat to pulse production.By the adoption of recommended
management practices, agriculture contributes not only to soil and water conservation, but also for
enhancing the amount of soil organic carbon in soil and mitigating CO2 emission effects on climate
change.
 Adoption of proper mitigation strategies in field will definitely contribute in stabilization of yield of
Pulse crops in near future.

Impact of Climate Change on Pulse Production & it’s Mitigation Strategies

  • 1. Impact of Climate Change on Pulse Production & it’s Mitigation Strategies Speaker:- Anurag Bera M.Sc (Ag) 3rd Semester Advisory Committee: Prof. Rajib Nath (Chairman) Prof. Dhananjoy Dutta Prof. Bikas Chandra Patra Prof. Susanta Kumar De Seminar committee: Prof. Dhananjoy Dutta (Leader) Prof. Swapan Kr. Mukhopadhyay Dr. Sibajee Banerjee Department of Agronomy Faculty of Agriculture Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal. Course No.-AGRON- 649 (SEMINAR 1) Date- 08/12/2020
  • 2. Outline of Presentation  INTRODUCTION  CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIO  IMPORTANCE OF PULSE CROPS  PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY OF PULSE CROPS  CLIMATIC CONSTRAINTS IN PULSE PRODUCTION  BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC STRESS ARISE IN THE CHANGING CLIMATE  MITIGATION STRATEGIES TO COMBAT CLIMATIC HAZARDS  CONCLUSION
  • 3. Introduction Climate change is one of the highly “discussed word” over last decades primarily as it has direct impact on food production and food security.  Change in the statistical distribution of weather pattern is posing a major impact on Agricultural crops particularly on rainfed crops including Pulses.
  • 4. Introduction  Unusual increase in temperature during the growth period especially at the time of flowering and pod formation results forced maturity and poor yield of Pulse crops.  Aberration of rainfall pattern correlated with humidity and associative impacts facilitate pest- disease infestation and other abiotic stresses like drought, flood, high salinity, soil acidification, waterlogging etc.  To meet these emerging challenges of climate change, there is an urgent need for developing policy framework for implementing approaches for mitigation and adaptation to combat adverse impacts of climate change.
  • 5. • Climate change is any significant long-term change in the expected patterns of average weather of a region (or the whole Earth) over a period of time. • Apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards the term ‘Climate Change’ has emerged as a major talking point for the environmental scientist. • Excessive increase in anthropogenic activities such as industrialization, urbanization, deforestation, mechanized agriculture, change in land use pattern etc. led to the change in climate over the regions.
  • 6. Serious impact of Climate Change • Temperature will continue to rise • More droughts and Heat waves • Change in Rainfall Pattern • More frequent Cyclone with high strength. • Increasing Pest and Pathogens • Water Scarcity and contaminating water supply
  • 7. • Climate change scenarios include higher temperatures, changes in precipitation and higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations. • Increased concentration of greenhouse gases like Carbon-di-oxide(CO2), Water vapour, Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O), HFCs, SF6 which can entrap solar radiation, are major responsible for elevating Global temperature. • According to IPCC (2007), the average surface temperature of the earth increased progressively by approximately 0.7 degree C over the last 50 years.
  • 8. Projected Scenario of change in temperature due to global warming by 2100 (Source- IPCC, 2007)
  • 9. • Based on the projections of IPCC, the mean temperature in India is projected to increase up to 1.7⁰C in Kharif (July-October) and upto 3.2⁰C in Rabi (November- March) while rainfall during Rabi season is expected to be increased by 10% within 2070. • During our independence, annual per capita water availability was 6042 cubic meter, which can be reduced to only 1140 cubic meter by the end of 2050 which shows a chronic water stress yet to be seen in the upcoming days. • Probability of 10–40 % loss in crop productivity in India expected by 2080–2100 is attributed to increase in temperature, variable rainfall and its time of occurrence and decrease in irrigated water supplies.
  • 10.  Pulses are the main source of protein for vegetarian population and are traditionally recognized as an indispensable constituent of human diet.  The protein content of pulses are twice that of cereals (20-25%) and equal to that of animal protein.  Being a Food legume, Pulses can fix atmospheric nitrogen thereby improve soil nutrient status and also can fit easily in any Cropping system.

  • 14. Recent Scenario of Pulse Production in India • India’s domestic Pulse production had been in the range of 14-18 MT till 2015-16. Since then, several new policy intervention, technological advancement uplifted it’s annual average production, takes it beyond 23 MT. • In 2017-18,our country achieved highest ever annual Pulse production ever. But beyond that year, the growth is downward. • If we take a peer review, we can observe several cyclone (e.g. Fani, Bulbul, Amphan), untimely rainfall in Rabi season occurred in those consecutive years of 2018-19, 2019-20. 16.47 23.13 25.42 23.22 23.01 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 Pulse Production(MT)

  • 17. • Shift in monsoon and erratic rainfall causes delayed sowing of Kharif Crops (e.g. late transplanting in Kharif Rice), for which the sowing of Rabi crops also get delayed. • Delayed sown crop undergoes terminal heat and drought stress during it’s phenological growth period which cause forced maturity without even completing the vegetative growth properly that ultimately hampers Crop yield. • Increasing post-monsoon rainfall during the month of January and February act as detrimental factor for Rabi pulses particularly, during it’s reproductive period.

  • 19. Abitoic Stress • Abiotic stresses are those that depend on the interaction between crop and it’s physical and chemical environment. • Rainfall distribution, temperature rise from February onwards, drought, heavy rainfall at the time of harvesting are considered as abiotic factors that are responsible for the less Pulse production. • The short winter window of the lower Gangetic plains aggravates the debilitating effects of late sowing- related heat stress.

  • 20. The effect of high temperature and water deficit • High temperature and water deficit decrease net photosynthesis during the period of the constraint, resulting in a reduction of plant growth rate. • Final seed number and final seed weight depend on plant growth rate during the flowering period and the seed filling period, respectively. Thus, high temperature and water deficit indirectly affect seed number and seed weight.(Guilioni et al. 2003; Pellissier et al. 2007). • Increasing temperature above 23°C results in a decrease in the rate of N remobilization from vegetative parts to growing seeds. Eventually, temperature variations can also affect seed N2 concentration, one of the main criteria determining the quality of grain legume. (Pellissier et al. 2007; Ito et al. 2009)
  • 21. The effect of high temperature and water deficit • Pulses are “ wonderful gift ” of nature for all living being, natural resources and environment. They have the ability to fix atmospheric N2 through symbiosis with soil bacteria (Rhizobia) hosted in specific root organs called nodules. • But, the process of symbiotic N2 fixation is highly sensitive to environmental stresses, especially to temperature, water, salinity, sodicity, acidity, and nutrient disorders. • Climate change may affect symbiotic fixation either directly by impairing Rhizobia survival, Rhizobia competitiveness, nodule formation, growth, or activity, or indirectly by modifying carbon supply to nodules.

  • 24. Biotic Stress • Pulses are prone to major insect-pest and diseases. They cause considerable damage if proper control measures are not taken. • Sudden rise in temperature or aberration in normal weather condition make the Pulse crops susceptible to several biotic stress, viz disease and insect pests.

  • 27. Weed infestation • Pulses have slow vegetative growth in the early stages and are poor competitors to weeds. Weeds are emerging as a major threat in the pulse cultivation due to their favourable climatic change.

  • 29. MITIGATION STRATEGIES TOCOMBAT CLIMATIC HAZARDS • The emerging negative impacts of climatic and environmental changes will put pressure on productivity and production of field crops particularly pulses because they are more sensitive to fluctuations due to climate change and associated factors. • In such situation, there is a need to develop and implement adaptation and mitigation strategies to alleviate the consequences of climatic changes and climatic variability. • The impact of climate change is complex and no single strategy will address the issue adequately. A combination technology and policy related interventions are required to cope up with this hazards. (Venkateswarlu and Shankar, 2009).
  • 30. A. Breeding Strategies  Development of Climate resilient crop varieties can be a potential solution to combat against climatic hazards. Varieties having high osmotic adjustment are developed.  ICAR-IIPR have identified such varieties which possess high osmotic adjustment. These varieties can be grown in the regions where climatic hazards are very frequent.

  • 31. Breeding Strategies Identification of heat tolerant genotypes of pulses have a greater scope in mitigating climate change situation in future. Recently ICARDA is targeting to produce lentil genotypes having characteristics such as rapid phonological development, prolonged flowering and pod development, more WUE, higher harvest index etc. to tolerate terminal heat stress.  Development of pulse varieties tolerant to different adverse conditions like salinity, alkalinity, acidity, drought and other biotic stress like pest and disease infestation is highly recommended. e.g. • Sweta (ICCV 2), Bharti (ICCV 10), Pusa Chamatkar of Chick pea are resistant to wilt. • VL Masoor 4, HUL 57, Noori (IPL 81) of Lentil are resistant to rust and wilt both. • Karnal Chana 1 of Chickpea is salinity tolerant. • ICP 7035, ICP 8862 are resistant to sterility mosaic disease of Pigeon pea. • Narendra Mung 1 of Greengram, Pant G186 of Chickpea are tolerant to Heat Stress.
  • 32. Breeding Strategies  Pulses are considered to be highly sensitive to photo thermo-periods. Sensitivity to photo- and thermo-periods is the major factor responsible for high Genotype × Environment (G × E) interaction, and yield instability of major pulses across different environments.  Therefore, development of photo-and thermo-insensitive genotypes had been the primary requirement to address the climate risk.

  • 33. B. Agronomic Strategies 1. Adoption of diversification practice :  Diversification of farming is an effective approach to reduce the risk associated with farming in unpredictable environments. It is very much essential in dryland condition where crop failure is very frequent.  Crop diversification through mixed cropping and intercropping are very promising approach that will create efficient resource utilization and enhances cropping intensities.  Alternative land use system through agroforestry system, alley cropping, ley farming etc can utilize the resources in better way and stabilizing pulse production.
  • 34. Agronomic Strategies 2. Fallow and conservation tillage :  The fallow system is designed to conserve soil moisture. It has other advantages like improved availability of soil nutrients and the eradication of certain soil-borne pests. Increasing storage of soil moisture by the fallow system with or without conservation tillage is standard agricultural practice in dry land farming.  Conservation tillage is basically meant for minimized tillage operations(Zero tillage, Minimum tillage, Mulching etc) to conserve soil structure and to maintain ground cover by mulch, such as stubble. These practises enhance more water infiltration by reducing runoff.  In areas with high rainfall raised bed planting are very good option.
  • 35. Agronomic Strategies 3. Maintaining adequate soil organic matter :  Under changing climatic scenario, the soil organic carbon (SOC) has been reducing continuously. Agricultural practises that enhance soil organic carbon must be followed to reduce green house gas emission(GHGs) and increase carbon sequestration in soil.  The addition of soil organic carbon improves soil physical, chemical and biological environment. Pulses have lower fertilizer requirement as they fix nitrogen hence helps in lowering green house gas emissions.
  • 36. Agronomic Strategies 4. Improved crop-specific practices:  Agronomic practices such as tillage, sowing time, planting method, ridge-planting of kharif / rainy-season pulses, crop geometry, plant population, nutrient and water management, seed treatment, weed management and plant protection have major impact on pulse productivity.  Crop-specific agronomic practices hold tremendous scope to raise pulse productivity potential in water-stress region under changing climatic conditions. For example, typical practices involves incorporation of the fertilizers in furrows below the seed as limited soil-moisture restricts nutrients availability to plants. Further, judicious use of organic and inorganic fertilizers inputs improves moisture-holding capacity of soil and increase drought tolerance.
  • 37. Agronomic Strategies 5. Water Harvesting and Supplemental irrigation :-  Pulses are mainly confined to rainfed areas, leading to sub-optimal productivity levels. Therefore, water harvesting mainly in this areas are essential to supply irrigation at least during critical stages of the crop.  Micro-irrigation like drip or sprinkler irrigation during flowering period enhances productivity in Pulses.
  • 38. Agronomic Strategies 5. Mitigating strategies by using microbial inoculant :- • The implication of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to conflict the harmful effects of ecological stresses and enhance plant growth and productivity by direct and indirect mechanisms has been reported by several researchers. • According to Grover et al. , certain microbial types may mitigate the impact of soil drought through production of exopolysaccharates, proline, indoleacetic acid, induction of resistance genes and increased circulation of water in the plant and the synthesis of ACC deaminase. • Many microbial inoculants produce an enzyme called ACC deaminase which induce longer roots which might be helpful in the uptake of relatively more water from deep soil under drought stress conditions, thus increasing water use efficiency of the plants under drought conditions. • Such bacterial strain which helps in this regard belong to the genera of Azotobactor, Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Azospirillum.

  • 40. C. Government Policy and intervention • Climate changes are occurring globally and many countries have either documented the changes or predicted them through climate modeling. Based on these changes and predictions, respective governments of several countries have already initiated policy decisions to combat influence of climate change. • To confront the likely adverse effects of climate change, government of India in the year 2008 introduced legislative amendment to overcome the impact of climate change on agriculture and allied activities. • Realizing the veritable challenge to arable land due to climate change, Indian Council of Agricultural Research in the year 2010–2011 launched a project entitled National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA).
  • 41. Government Policy and intervention • The NICRA is planned to be a multi-disciplinary project with the main objective for evolving climateresilient agricultural technologies. Two important components of NICRA are as follows:  Plan and implement strategic research on adaptation and mitigation.  Demonstrate climate coping technologies on farmers’ fields to combat adverse impacts of climatic variability.
  • 42. Government Policy and intervention • Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), launched on launched on 18 February 2016 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an insurance service for farmers for their yields. It was formulated in line with One Nation–One Scheme theme by replacing earlier existing insurance schemes. • Major objectives are- a) To provide a comprehensive insurance cover against failure of the crop thus helping in stabilising the income of the farmers. b) Encouraging farmers to adopt innovative and modern agricultural practices.
  • 43. Conclusion  Climate is the primary determinant of agricultural productivity with direct impact on food production across the globe. Agriculture sector is the most sensitive sector to the climate changes because the climate of a region/country determines the nature and characteristics of vegetation and crops.  Pulse production programme was brought to centre stage owing their importance from nutrition point of view and it’s role in economy of our country.  Though pulse are tolerant to heat and drought stress and requires very little soil moisture to grow and give good amount of yield ; inadequate and erratic rainfall, unexpected high temperature at reproductive stage are posing threat to pulse production.By the adoption of recommended management practices, agriculture contributes not only to soil and water conservation, but also for enhancing the amount of soil organic carbon in soil and mitigating CO2 emission effects on climate change.  Adoption of proper mitigation strategies in field will definitely contribute in stabilization of yield of Pulse crops in near future.
