In order to deal with the effects of climate change on agricultural fields, new
technologies and innovations have been examined and confirmed via agricultural
research projects that contribute to efforts to mitigate climate change and allow
farmers and policymakers to establish their strategies and actions to tackle climate
change effects.
To eliminate the adverse effects of climate change, farmers should be able to adopt
different strategies to climate change. Farmers are suggesting particular adaptation
options. Even though the majority of them have started to adapt themselves by cultivating short duration heat tolerant crops like pulses maize millets, vegetables, and
floriculture crops especially Jasmine, as they understood from their farming experience that these crops could withstand heat and water stress as an adaptation response
to the climate variability.
Farmers understood climate change via changes in their farming practices. Agricultural calendar interruption is evidence of climate variability and change. Farmers
stated that existing rain starting and stopping times do not interfere with the time in
their prior agricultural calendar. They are therefore confused regarding regularizing
their crop calendar and evaluating the most suitable crops to grow. Some specific
months and dates over the years are regarded to be key climate reference indicators.
As soon as a change takes place in these times, it is combined by farmers as evidence
of climate change. The intensity of the sun (sunshine) and the power of winds have
changed. Before, the winds were less intense, but now, strong wind, which precedes
the rain, chases out the stormy clouds.
Farmers change land preparation, and sowing dates primarily in terms of agricultural calendar adjustment. Because of all the existing operations rely on the sowing
date, the dates of other activities were also shifted forward or backward with regard
to the prior calendar. Because of uncertainties linked to climate variability, farmers
have to start land preparation activities earlier to be ready in case the onset of the
