    Sustainable Production of Root and Tuber Crops, 2025
    Root and tuber crops suffer severe threats from climate change, necessitating effective tactics for adaptation to minimize vulnerability. This chapter looks at how rising temperatures, changed patterns of precipitation, severe weather, and transformed dynamics of pests and diseases are affecting root and tuber crops as a consequence of climate change. The production of root and tuber crops is greatly impacted by these changes, which result in reduced yields, weakened quality, more prone to pests and diseases, and restricted access to water resource. Among the strategies that are included in the category of adaptation tactics are agronomic practices, crop diversification, improved water management, breeding for climate resilience, and agroecological techniques. However, it is critical to address knowledge gaps and research needs in order to gain a deeper understanding of the effects of climate change and develop effective adaptation methods for root and tuber crops. The identification of resilient cultivars, improved cropping systems, better control of pests and diseases, and investigation of the socioeconomic aspects of adaptation should be the top priorities for future study. The consequences of climate change on tropical root and tuber crops are brought to light in this chapter, emphasizing the need of taking action. It emphasizes how important adaption measures are to maintaining food security and sustainability over the long run in a changing environment.

    Sustainable Production of Root and Tuber Crops, 2025
    Specialty root and tuber crops are critical to global food security, particularly in developing nations where they are starchy staples, often more significant than grains. These crops, including cassava, sweet potatoes, yams and aroids, contribute to food security and nutritional diversity. They occupy 67 million hectares globally, producing 887 million tonnes annually, with cassava, sweet potatoes, yams and aroids being the major contributors only after potato. These crops are not only nutritionally beneficial but also possess bioactive compounds with potential health benefits. Despite historical neglect, these crops are now recognized for their resilience, economic value and contributions to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Effective management and research are crucial to harness their full potential, ensuring they remain a cornerstone of global food security and agricultural sustainability. This chapter puts insight into the diversity and potential of underutilized root and tuber crops in fulfilling the food and nutritional needs around the globe as well as their response to climatic alterations.

    Legume Research, 2024
    Background: The optimum sowing date is crucial among the different agronomic procedures for maximizing output. Optimizing a crop's planting time may be one of the most significant climate resilient tactics for increasing production and hence it becomes necessary to study the crop growth behaviors in changing climatic conditions. The proposed field investigations were undertaken to study the influence of different sowing dates on yield of vegetable pea. Methods: Field investigations were undertaken during Rabi seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa (85.67oE - 25.98oN.), which comes under sub-Himalayan foothills region of India. The research study was performed in Randomized Block Design with three replications consisting of eight different sowing dates of vegetable pea. cv. Azad Pea-3 at 10 days interval between each sowing dates. Observations were made on various growth and yield attributing parameters. Result: Results revealed that the parameters under study were substantially affected by various sowing dates. Second week of sowing in November in the years produced maximum plant height at 60 DAS (83.77cm), number of branches per plant (3.97), number of nodules per plant at flowering (26.13), number of green pods per plant (20.80), 10 pods weight (75.67g) and pod yield (52.06q/ha).

    Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences, 2024
    Climate change has massive consequences on non-living factors in the environment, resulting in irregular precipitation, fluctuating atmospheric temperature, and variations in humidity. These changes cause biotic and abiotic stresses; plants must have defense mechanisms to survive. Therefore, plants divert some synthesized energy towards producing numerous plant secondary metabolites (PSMs), viz., flavonoids, alkaloids, and essential oils. These compounds act as protections for the plants, helping them to survive under stressful conditions. Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are sessile organisms that are not immune to harmful consequences of various abiotic stresses in which the PSMs have an important role in acting against the adverse effects. In this regard, the MAPs have a coherent defense mechanism for abiotic stresses. The secondary metabolites produced by these plants are useful as medicines and aromatic products for humans. However, not all stresses produce high secondary metabolites, as their production is highly specific to certain stresses. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of secondary metabolite production under various stressful conditions, including extreme temperature, drought, water logging, salinity, harmful radiation, elevated levels of ozone and CO2, heavy metals, and agrochemicals on MAPs. Additionally, the production of these compounds can be modified by subjecting plants to various stressors. Many authors have reported on PSMs in MAPs, which need to be well documented and exploited for humankind.

    Heliyon, 2024
    Mango is a commercial fruit crop of India that suffers huge postharvest losses every year. The application of biocontrol agents (BCAs) bears a vast potential for managing the same, which is yet to be exploited to its fullest extent. Hence, studies were conducted for BCAs application of Debaryomyces hansenii , Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens strains on mango fruit under in-vitro , in-vivo conditions to know the efficacy of these BCAs on the postharvest pathogen, shelf life and quality retention of mango fruit. The ‘poisoned food technique' was attempted for in-vitro studies. For the in-vivo studies, fruit of the commercial cultivar ‘Amrapali' were un-inoculated and pre-inoculated with major postharvest pathogens (anthracnose: Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and stem-end rot: Botryodiplodia theobromae ) were treated with BCA, followed by ambient storage at (24 ± 4 °C, 75 ± 5 % RH). From the results, it has been observed that under in vitro studies , BCA Debaryomyces hansenii (Strain: KP006) and Bacillus subtilis (Strain: BJ0011) at the treatment level 10 8 CFU mL −1 while, the Pseudomonas fluorescens at 10 9 CFU mL −1 (Strain: BE0001) were significantly effective for pathogen inhibition. However, under the in vivo studies, the BCA Debaryomyces hansenii (Strain: KP006) at 10 8 CFU mL −1 treatment level was found to significantly reduce the pathogen's decay incidence while positively influencing the shelf life and biochemical (quality) attributes. This treatment increased the storage life of mango fruit by more than three days over control fruit. Therefore, BCA Debaryomyces hansenii (Strain: KP006) at 10 8 CFU mL −1 can be used to control the postharvest pathological loss of mango fruit without affecting its internal quality.
  • Pod and Seed Production Potential of Vegetable Pea (Pisum sativum L.) as Influenced by Different Levels of Sulphur and Boron in Calcareous Soil of North Bihar
    Udit Kumar, Chhail Bihari, Pramila ., K. Prasad, B.M. Sinha, Saipayan Ghosh, Vivek Kumar Patel, Dharminder ., Kaushal Kishor
    Legume Research, 2024
    Background: Vegetable pea is one of the relevant vegetable crops grown in the cool season all over the India. Sulphur deficiency is becoming more prevalent in Bihar due to the less use of boron and sulphur-containing fertilizer in calcareous soils and the consequent decrease in sulphur and boron nutrients. On the other hand, organic matter-rich manures, are utilized in very small quantities which is a source of a macro-and micronutrients, including sulphur and boron. As a consequence, soils have become deficient in sulphur and boron, which is detrimental to crop production. In the absence of these sulphur and boron in the soil, different legume crops such as vegetable pea suffer from reduced growth, yield and nodule formation. Methods: In this field investigation during 2020-2022, experiments were conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design using fifteen different combinations of Boron and Sulphur doses in Azad Pea-3 variety of vegetable pea in three replications and different pod and seed yield attributing traits were studied. Result: Among the different treatments, it has been inferred that treatment combination 40 kg S ha-1 + 2 kg B ha-1 exhibited superiority over rest of the treatment combinations with respect to pod and seed yield attributes of vegetable pea.
