Impact of Climate on Crop Health

By: Getdistributors

Extreme Temperature

Temperature stress impacts growth and yield potential of crops through temperature variation.

Water Availability

Changes in rainfall patterns, for instance, drought or flooding, affect water uptake, and this results in water stress or water logging which is unhealthy for plants.

Climate changes impact pests and diseases, which in turn impacts the crops and their susceptibility to pests, and the measures that have to be taken to control pests.

Pest and Disease  Dynamics

Changes in climate impact on the nutrient content of the soil and therefore the health of crops and their nutrients.

Nutrient Availability

Adaptation Strategies

Farmers use strategies like altering the time of planting, using crops that are resistant to the effects of climate change, or constructing water storage systems to counter climate change.
