With reference to the impact of climate change on agriculture, consider the following statements :
1. Climate change will likely reduce the yield of wheat, maize and chickpea.
2. Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide has a fertilization effect on crops with C3 photosynthetic
pathway and thus promotes their growth and productivity.
3. Under elevated CO2 concentration, crop residues have a higher Carbon-Nitrogen ratio, which may
reduce their rate of decomposition and nutrient supply in the soil.
Which of the statements given above are correct ?CorrectAnswer: B
The impact of climate change on Indian agriculture was studied under National Innovations in Climate
Resilient Agriculture (NICRA). Rainfed rice yields in India are projected to reduce marginally (<2.5%) in
2050 and 2080, and irrigated rice yields by 7% in 2050 and 10% in 2080 scenarios. Further, wheat yield
is projected to reduce by 6-25% in 2100 and maize yields by 18-23%. Future climates will likely benefit
chickpea with the increase in productivity (23-54%).
