- 2. KEYWORDS: ClimateChange, IPCC, Impact, Crop Yield, Temperature.
- 3. Climate isone of the main determinants of agricultural production. There is significant apprehension about the effects of climate. The Climate change is any change in climate over time that is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity which alters the composition of the global atmosphere . According to the IPCC the green house gas emission could cause the mean global temperature to rise by another 1.4o C to 5.8o C.
- 4. • Tamil Naduis a state of Indian sub-continent was chosen as the study area, be more specific Chidambaram. • Tamil Nadu lies between 7°91’N to 13°65’N latitude and 76°17’E to 80°82’E longitude. Tamil Nadu is situated in the southern-most part of the Indian peninsula. • Agriculture, a predominant sector, contributes to about 10 percent of the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). • Currently, gross cropped area is 6.3 million hectares. • accounting for nearly 50 per cent of the total geographical area of the state. • Food crops account for 70 per cent of the gross cropped area, of which nearly half is under rice.
- 6. • The maximumtemperature over Tamil Nadu is projected to increase by 1.1̊C, in the years 2040. • District wise changes indicate a general maximum increase of about 1.3 ̊C over the North western side. • The minimum increase of about 0.7 ̊C is seen along the eastern parts of coastal districts.
- 15. Wheat Production Thestudy found that increase in temperature by about 20̊C will reduce potential grain yields in most places. Climate Change will also lead to boundary change in areas suitable for growing certain crops. Reduction in yields as a result of Climate Change is predicted to be more pronounced for rain fed crops as opposed to irrigated crops. In subtropical environment the decrease in potential wheat yield range from 1.5 to 5.8 percent while in tropical regions the decrease is relatively higher, suggesting that warmer regions can expect greater crop.
