Abstract:

                    Climate is an important factor of the geographical distribution and productivity of vegetation. Therefore, the climatic changes have insightful implications for rural livelihoods, in so particular to the soil and water resources. Global climate change will increase the stress on agricultural systems by potentially decreasing yields at the very time when demand for food is growing dramatically. Like hunger, the stresses that arise from rapid climate change will fall most heavily on the poorest, the most vulnerable, and those least able to adopt new technology.

Although increases in average temperature worldwide are the most predictable consequence of greenhouse gas emissions, many other aspects of global and regional climate will also change. Some of these changes will be much more significant than others, with respect to agricultural output. The effects include, increased growing season, extended margin of the potential cropping and grazing in mid-latitude regions, which may reduce the yield potential in core areas of current production as increased temperatures encourage more rapid maturation of plants and shorten the period of grain filling and extended geographic range of some insect pests. The effects also include, changes in crop types, irrigation management, fertilizer use, soil drainage and erosion and farm infrastructure. In this circumstance a study on Technological and Extension Gaps and Strategies for Agro Economic Situations in Mahabubnagar district in Telangana state with respect to climate change has been conducted.
