Input Use Efficiency for Food and Environmental Security

Abstract

Crop yields and input use efficiency are highly affected by prevailing climatic conditions. Increase in climatic aberrations in the recent past has increased year-to-year variations in crop productivity over different regions of the globe. Crops yield is the maximum under specific set of climatic conditions, referred to as cardinal/optimum limits as under optimum conditions, there is highest growth, yield, and efficiency of utilization of resources. However, increased variations in the recent years are leading to deterioration of soil and environmental health. As a result, input use efficiency is declining, endangering sustainability of agriculture and natural resources and threatening food security. Climate change triggered increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, resulting in significant yield losses every year along with deterioration of natural resources. Climate projections are further indicating about intense warming scenarios if appropriate measures are not taken to contain the emissions from various sectors. Unfavorable weather conditions significantly reduce heat, water, radiation as well as nutrient use efficiency of crops. Under such conditions, adoption of mitigation and adaptation strategies is essentially required to sustain crop productivity and natural resource base. Various agronomic management strategies such as adjustment of sowing time, irrigation management, fertilizer management, etc., need to be adopted in different crops for improved resilience to climate. Identification and development of stress tolerant genetic resource base are required to develop varieties able to resist different types of stresses. Various microclimatic modifications such as mulch applications, row orientation, row spacing, etc., should be explored to create optimum crop microclimate. Timely available and accurate weather forecasts and agro-advisory services can also play significant role in decreasing the harmful effects of extreme weather conditions. Crop simulation modeling is another strategy that can be used successfully to study crop responses to various stresses, which can also help in decision-making and research reorientation in view of climate change. The emerging techniques of remote sensing should also be applied in the field of agriculture to monitor and predict crop responses to various stresses and to find out viable solutions at regional level. Multidisciplinary approach involving exhaustive research efforts is the need of the hour for sustaining agricultural productivity as well as improving input use efficiency and environmental health under changing climatic scenarios.
