Volume : II, Issue : XII, January - 2013 IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTURE – A CASE STUDY IN INDIA V.KARTHICK, A.ANBARASSAN AND T.ALAGUMANI Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Agricultural is the major and social activity in the globe. It is understood that
agriculture is highly sensitive to climate variability and likely to be affected. It is
required to study the impact of climate change. The present study is aims to examine the
impact of climate variables such as temperature and rainfall on crop production through
temporal analysis with special reference to Tamil Nadu. For the purpose secondary on
area, production and productivity of sorghum, bajra, maize groundnut, sugarcane and
rice and data on temperature and rainfall in Tamil Nadu were collected from published
sources. Rainfall in Tamil Nadu exhibited in cyclical trend. The results of the production
function showed that among selected crops production of groundnut and bajra
negatively affected by maximum temperature and minimum temperature. The study
called for suitable adaptation strategies to tide over climate change. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : V.KARTHICK, A.ANBARASSAN AND T.ALAGUMANI, (2013).
