Abstract

The historical changes in temperature of the earth have been the concern of people since time immemorial. The exponential rise in the earth's temperature affects the production of crop plants. Taking the seriousness of such changes in temperature, it was considered important to measure them and their impact on agricultural crop production. Various methods, technologies and equipment for measuring the surface temperature of plants and soil are described in this chapter. Subsequently various facilities and techniques to study the response of crop plants to the changes in the earth's temperature are explained along with their advantages and disadvantages. The devices described here include infrared thermometer, thermistor, thermocouple, etc. The facilities include temperature gradient chamber (TGC), temperature gradient greenhouses (TGG), SPAR system, infrared warming system, free air temperature enrichment technology (FATE) and soil warming system. Various mitigation technologies to counter the adverse effect of temperature changes on crop and soil systems are discussed. A sizable number of morphological, physiological, biochemical and anatomical measures and agronomic technologies help in controlling the adverse effects of temperature stresses on crops and plants.
