  • Indian Farmers Adapted to Temperature Changes for Rice, Maize but Not Wheat: Illinois Study

    In order to determine how climatic changes impacted the yields of important grain crops in India, the University of Illinois researchers in the United States of America studied data spanning more than 60 years. They discovered that Indian farmers could adjust to temperature variations for maize and rice but not for wheat. The purpose of this study, which was published in the Agricultural Economics Journal, was to examine the immediate and long-term effects of climate change on crops. While the output of rice has increased due to more precipitation, the yields of wheat and maize have decreased. The study's author, Madhu Khanna, stated that we also discovered that farmers are customising their tactics for various areas and crops. Districts in hotter regions, for instance, did better in hotter climates than districts in cooler climates.
