Impact of Climate Change on Horticultural Crops Production and Quality: A Review

Climate change decreases the global agriculture production and also affects of Horticulture crops. Horticultural crops are highly perishable very sensitive to unpredictable climate change. Abiotic stress includes temperature, drought, flooding, outbreak insect increase Carbon dioxide concentration. During recent years many research showed impact on horticultural Crops quality. It was found that temperature leading apple flowering subsequently fruit setting qualitatively as well quantitatively, sun burn, cracking in which marked decrease quality, lower tomato yield, orange mandarin poor drop, lose great ratio total Cashew drying flower resulting yield reduction, potato hinder growth root stolon, delays formation tubers starch accumulation, eventually lead yield. Drought cause tree transpiration rate photosynthesis reduce by stomata conductance. Flooding China 47.5% vegetable damaged onion 30-40% loss In India Kerela 25,138 spice loss. A major economical pest Tomato leaf minor (TLM) both out door greenhouse causes about 80-100% under heavy infestation, changes color fall from stem break infestation sucking insects banana. enrichment is environment coffee been quality but negative when concentration high. present review, has summarized.
