Potato is one of the most important vegetable crops in India accounting for 20-25% of area under cultivation of vegetables and grown in a wide range of climatic conditions. It is grown in almost all states under diversified agro-climatic conditions. Nearly 80% of the crop is grown in Indo- Gangetic plains comprising Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Punjab, Haryana, Bihar and other parts of India like Gujarat and Karnataka. Moreover, within the country, there is a lot of heterogeneity in potato productivity depending upon mostly on management and climatic conditions. The viability of commercial potato production is influenced by spatial and temporal variability in soils, agro climate, and the availability of water resources. The inter and intra-regional variations in productivity within the country are attributed to the variations in bio-physical factors vis-a-vis specific soil-climatic requirements of the crop. The present chapter discusses the impact of climate change on the land resources requirement for potato crop with reference to Indian context.

National Perspective

Climate is a measure of changes in meteorological variables. Sudden changes arise due to increasing deforestation, pollution, population, depletion of natural resources, global warming and industrialization etc. Uneven monsoon and irregular rainfall distribution causes great variations in climatic conditions which cause disasters; drought and flood. During monsoon season, flood occurs in several river basins of U.P and U.K states. According to Indian Meteorological Department, the average annual rainfall in U.P and U.K is more than other states; 100-120 cm and 120-400 cm respectively. Uttarakhand is among one of the highest rainfall states of India. Sharda river; a tributary of river Ganga overflows many times, causes flood in surrounded regions. Sharda-Yamuna link (S-Y) is one of the proposed links of National Perspective Plan to minimize flood in U.P and U.K states and drought in western parts such as Haryana, Rajasthan, and Gujarat of the country. Excess water will be transferred through S-Y link towards the drought regions of India. Approx 11,680 m3 of surplus water is estimated to transfer from river Sharda to river Yamuna to avoid flood in U.P and U.K states. The lining of the link passes through two states Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. The S-Y may also help in maintaining the water balance in its Enrouted and Command regions. This paper highlights the climate change, flood and drought disaster issues and role of proposed Sharda-Yamuna link.

Increased Risk

Vegetable crops are sensitive to temperature, most of them require specific temperatures for optimum yield and quality. Climate change will effect capsicum production through increase in pollination failures, floral abortion, reduced fruit size and quality under higher temperature, increased incidence of physiological disorders (sun scald and blossom end rot), increased risk of soil borne diseases (leaf blight and fruit rot). Increasing temperatures will also influence greenhouse crop production, particularly in sub-tropical regions. In temperate areas there will be less effect and sowing time can be adjusted accordingly. Irrigation requirement will be high because of higher evaporative demand. So there is a need to adjust the sowing time according to changing temperatures. Selecting cultivars which are more tolerant are adaptable to changing environmental conditions. So polyhouses are best solution to avoid losses due to unfavourable climatic conditions like high temperature, heavy rains, strong winds and hailstones etc. Integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) will be an important tool to adapt to changing climate. Mulching with different mulching materials will help in reducing the incidence of soil born diseases like fruit rot and leaf blight. Scientists have to breed the cultivars, suitable to grow under changing temperature, resistant to insect, pest and diseases. To cope up with the effects of climate change we have to follow good production technology in capsicum and also to increase the yield and for good quality of the produce.

The potato is one of the most versatile, accessible and at the same time widespread vegetable crops of the globe, and in particular of the Russian Federation. Today notable can be imagined without it. But despite the plasticity of the potato crop, there are still “white spots” in its production. With late and even return spring and early autumn frosts, the climatic features of Siberia significantly affect the crop’s growing season, preventing it from realising its full potential. Like that of many other crops, potato production is associated with seasonality, and there are often significant losses during cultivation and especially during storage. An important challenge is to protect plants during growth and development by applying innovative, environmentally friendly crop protection and stimulation products. Organomineral growth and development regulators were particularly popular. In the work schemes of application of perspective, organomineral growth regulators in conditions of forest-steppe of Western Siberia were tested and perfected. Their influence on the primary phases of growth and development of potatoes and their maturity, and their influence on biometrical parameters of plants, a phytosanitary condition of crops, a crop capacity, and its safety are established. On average, under the influence of growth regulators Epin-Extra and Zircon, the growing season is shortened by 3-5 days; the spread of diseases is reduced by 1.5-2 times; the yield increases to 8.3 tons per hectare. These studies are confirmed by the calculation of economic efficiency. Thus, the use of these growth regulators provides the level of profitability of production up to 252%.

Adaptation Options

Potato is the most important non-cereal crop in the world and the most prominent winter season crop in India. Growth and yield of potato crop is very much sensitive to higher temperatures and the moisture stress. Hence, the anticipated increase of temperature due to global warming and climatic variability will have anadverse impact on potato production. Keeping this in view, a research work was carried out with the objectives to assess the impact of climate change on potato production and evaluating agronomic adaptation options through a crop growth simulation model (CGSM). Field experiments were carried out to prepare the minimum dataset for calibration and validation of one CGSM, namely InfoCrop. After validation, the model was used to predict the future tuber yield of ten selected stations situated under different agroclimatic regions of the State. In the future scenario 2050, the simulated yield for mid November planted crop likely to be about 11% less than the present level of mean yield. If the crop is planted in December, the percentage of yield reduction may be around 25%.The projected yield reduction, for the stations of higher latitude, is found to be negligible. Three possible agronomic adaptation options, viz., adjustment of date of planting, increase of seed rate and varying sprout length of seed tubers, have been tried as adaptation strategies to combat the adverse effects of climate change. It is concluded that the mid-November planting and longer sprout length will be the best adaptation option. However, the enhanced seed rate is not a viable adaptation option.

Phellinus Quel. is a member of family Hymenochaetaceae of the order Hymenochaetales. This genus comprises wood-inhabiting, saprophytic and parasitic species. Species of Phellinus sensu lato are known to have large host range and cause white rot of various types to live standing or dead trees from all over the world. The current study is based on a thorough study of literature to document the host range of Phellinus species from India. The study indicated that one hundred and seventy four plant species from 51 families are found to be infected by Phellinus species. The families found to be the most affected are Fabaceae, Combretaceae, Meliaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Anacardiaceae, Myrtaceae, Meliaceae, Lauraceae, Fagaceae, Rosaceae.  Many plant (tree) species are affected by Phellinus; this establishes it as a potential pathogen and wood decay fungi. The present study also reports Phellinus from almost all over India and every climatic zones. This indicated the high tolerance and acclimatization of Phellinus towards diverse climatic conditions. The most affected host is Artocarpus followed by Terminalia and Acacia. Although the study reports Phellinus from diverse climatic zones of India, the most affected families and genera are from moist tropical conditions. This indicates that Phellinus has vigorous activity in warm and moist areas and affects diverse plant/tree species in these areas like Maharashtra and Kerala. The states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telengana, Union Territories, Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland are still left to be explored. The present study has key significance in biodiversity, medicinal as well as the pathogenic study of Phellinus. It provides an overall host range of genus Phellinus, confirming its vast host diversity. The information could further be used in disease, biodiversity and plant pathological assessments.
