Climate swap, a world phenomenon, has attracted scientists to give a contribution in anticipatory learn to mitigate adversarial affects, that are extra vital for horticulture, because the state of affairs is in the middle of revolution, attaining the construction point of 250 million tonnes in India. affects of weather variability have, continually, profound impact on construction and caliber. An realizing of the affects and proper variation options are of prime significance to maintain the productiveness and profitability of horticulture plants within the weather swap state of affairs, which necessitates synthesis of present wisdom to enhance ideas for edition and mitigation to accomplish climate-resilient horticulture. The ebook Climate-resilient horticulture: edition and mitigation ideas addresses the consequences of weather switch on various horticultural vegetation and specializes in the difference concepts according to the clinical wisdom generated via the specialists in numerous agro-climatic areas in India. matters were coated in quite a few chapters to make this publication a treasure of information in horticulture vis-a-vis weather swap. a few of the vegetation incorporated within the publication are apple, grapes, cashew, banana, litchi, mango, coconut, oil palm, potato, tomato, cucurbits and flora. as well as options to be tailored in those vegetation, a number of different very important points like carbon sequestration, pests and illnesses, and concrete landscaping also are lined within the e-book. info on climatic dangers and edition innovations for resilience in horticultural plants and destiny suggestions and data on pest and affliction dynamics on horticultural vegetation relating to weather swap and on hand mitigation techniques have additionally been documented. The ebook is edited by means of Dr H P Singh, a visionary chief, and his colleagues, in order to be hugely priceless to analyze staff, scholars, coverage planners and farmers to appreciate and checkmate the adversarial impact of weather swap, so that it will convert weak spot into opportunity.

Increase in night temperature in several parts of the country during winter 2010 adversely affected mango flowering. Therefore, there is a need for proactive measures for sustenance of horticulture against the occurrence of cold and heat waves, floods and droughts as well as against sea level rise as a part of “National Climate Resilient Horticulture” under projected climate change scenario as their frequency is likely to increase in the ensuing years. Keeping the above in view, an attempt has been made to understand the impact of climate change on horticultural crops across different regions of the country.
Strategies like changing sowing or planting dates in order to combat the likely increase in temperature and water stress periods during the crop-growing season. Modifying fertilizer application to enhance nutrient availability and use of soil amendments to improve soil fertility for enhancing nutrient uptake. Providing irrigation during critical stages of the crop growth and conserving soil moisture reserves are the most important interventions. The crop management practices like mulching with crop residues and plastic mulches help in conserving soil moisture.
Potato and vegetables matured early, and heavy crop losses were noticed due to abnormal increase in temperature as a result of heat wave (Prasad and Rana 2006). The prolonged droughts during summer adversely affected the crops like cocoa, black pepper, coconut, coffee, tea and cardamom along the West Coast in 1982–1983 and 2003–2004 (Rao et al. 2008). Increase in night temperature in several parts of the country during winter 2010 adversely affected mango flowering.
