Abstract

Climate change is a statistical variation in properties of the climate system that include in global temperature, rainfall, sunlight, precipitation etc. Agriculture production depends on environmental, varietal and management factors. Climate plays a major role as its positive and negative impact immediately influences crop productivity. Improved and sustainable agriculture technology according to forecast based, agro advisories and full information about factor effecting of climate change are more useful to reduce vulnerability and improve adoptability of agriculture to climate change. In Ujjain district of Madhya Pradesh major vegetable crops grown are Tomato, Okra, Sponge gourd, Bottle Gourd, Brinjal, Chili, Cucurbits etc. In vegetable growing areas of Ujjain, many factor are available which directly connected with climate change and like average temperature increase, change in rainfall amount and pattern, change in climatic variability. This study conducted in Ujjain District of M.P with 120 vegetable growers. Major finding of the study is maximum percentage (37.50%) of vegetable growers adopted Pulses-Potato-Colocasia vegetable pattern. This vegetable pattern replaced old vegetable pattern of Okra-Garlic-Onion in vegetable production due to climate change.
