CLIMATE SENSITIVITY OF RICE CROP IN INDIA | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 The study uses district-level panel data from 1998-99 to 2013-14 to look at the vulnerability of rice crop producers in India to climate change before 2100AD. According to the report, the mean maximum temperature is on the rise and will have a negative impact on rice crop net revenue, especially in Northeast India. The fallouts also expect a substantial decrease in net revenue from rice cultivation, with the highest decline in the North area and a net revenue decline of 20.04 percent across India (when compared to the base period, i.e., 2013-14). In Peninsular India (63.95%), the decline was more pronounced than in other parts of the world. The deductions indicate that rice crop net revenue in the North and Peninsular regions decreased by 1.69 percent and 22.58 percent, respectively, during the first decadal interval (2020-40), with a decline in the rate of loss over the subsequent decadal intervals. The study advocates for increasing rice crop net crop revenue by increasing production through short-duration, climate-responsive varieties on the one hand, and lowering rice crop cultivation costs on the other. To deal with the harmful anthropogenic effects of climate change, the results call for the expansion of micro-irrigation projects and rainwater harvesting on a larger scale. The study also predicted a non-uniform decline in rice crop net revenue over four climatic scenarios per decadal interval.
