Impact of Climate Change on Groundnut Yield and Its Variability in Andhra Pradesh, India

This study investigated the impact of climate change variables viz., rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures on mean groundnut yields its variability during both Kharif Rabi seasons across different agro-climatic zones in Andhra Pradesh through employing Just Pope production function. For this study, was purposefully chosen because it is one main oilseed crops grown seasons. The results from quadratic Cobb-Douglas models (2005-2019) revealed that rainfall temperature are yield increasing factors risk shrinking factors, whereas reducing enhancing factor season. It found season all climatic were factors. Time trend positive significant influencing These findings suggested farmers should improve their access towards agro-meteorological information, cultivate resilient varieties, capacity building to withstand diverse impacts events at field level etc., sustainable Pradesh.
