Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Maize Production in Serbia

Climate factors have an impact on plant life cycle, yield, productivity, economy and profitability of agricultural production. There are not a lot studies understanding influence climate variation maize yield in agro-ecological conditions Serbia. The aim this paper is analysis climatic over long-time period, as well assessment the examined parameters two localities Republic For (temperature, precipitation, sunshine, humidity) region Central Serbia Vojvodina, data meteorological stations Kragujevac Sombor during thirty-year periods (1961–1990 1991–2020) were used. In order to determine existence strength relationship between observed correlation these indicators for period 2005–2020 years, was performed. 1991–2020, average values temperature annually increased 0.046 °C 0.05 Sombor, same value sunshine annual level 1.3 h 5.01 2020 comparison 1961–1990. humidity decline 3.4 1991–2020 results showed that significantly lower years with expressed high temperatures precipitation deficit. Based studies, established effect change demand developing adaptation practice through creating hybrids varieties greater adaptability improvement agrotechnic measure.
