Abstract

Climate is an important phenomenon which influences both quality and nutritional value of vegetables. Climatic factors viz. light, temperature, drought, salinity, flooding etc play important role in determining crop quality. Vegetables contain several important nutrients i.e., vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, antioxidant, proteins and flavonoids which are biologically active against number of chronic diseases. For proper growth and development of human body, healthy diet is the major factor due to availability of good nutrition, but continuous shifting of climate i.e., CO2 and O3 concentrations on a global scale reduces both quality and production of vegetable crops which ultimately affect the world’s food supply. The continuous change in the climate is due to emissions of greenhouse gases from fuel combustion, deforestation, urbanization and industrialization. Different species of Brassica such as Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussels sprout, Knol-khol etc comes under cole crops, belongs to family Brassicaceae. Cole crops contain high amount of various nutrients and phytochemicals compound such as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrate, glucosinolates and sulphoraphane, which gives protection against various carcinogenic and cardiovascular diseases. In this chapter, we discussed about the importance of cole crops, climate change impacts on their growth and development and adoption strategies for sustainable cole crop production to give an overview of the literature for cole crops. Cole crops like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli etc, are sensitive to heat, so heat stress during growing season reduces curd setting and shortening their time for photo assimilation which results in yield loss with an impaired product quality.
