Climate Change and Crop Stresses

Abstract

In recent years climate change has brought about drastic changes in agro-climatic conditions resulting in posing a constant threat to crop production by environmental stresses. Among various environmental conditions including biotic and abiotic stresses play an important role in reducing crop productivity. Abiotic stresses cause higher crop loss as compared to biotic stress. Although a lot of studies have been conducted in plant stress research, it is of major importance for researchers to look for good adaption strategies as different abiotic stresses arise together in the field. These stresses have a detrimental effect on farmer’s subsistence as well as the national economies and together with the current pandemic situation the global food security is put under threat.
