Volume : III, Issue : V, June - 2013 A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON MAJOR CROPS IN TAMIL NADU G. RAGUNATH AND K. VETRIVEL DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution
of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. There are a
number of reasons for global climate change, examples of which include the increased
intensity of solar energy or the cyclicality of Earth's temperatures, volcanism, oceanic
circulation cycles, biosphere impact, ultraviolet radiation variability, reflectivity,
rotational variation, solar systemic changes, galaxy positional variability, albedo,
human influence and so on. The present paper analyse on the impacts of climate change
on major crops in Tamil Nadu. It is observed from the study more that there is no impact
of climate change on major crops. The major crops present a very little change in the
productivity due to change in climate. Their co-efficient of variations are more or less
uniform except for cotton the variation in cotton is observed in the latter half of the
period of study. Its rise in productivity may due to the adoption of new technology in
cultivation and the use of modern implements in agriculture. Thus climate change has no
direct impact of major crops. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : G. RAGUNATH AND K. VETRIVEL, (2013). A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON MAJOR CROPS IN TAMIL NADU.
