Climate Change: Impacts on the Production of Cotton in Pakistan
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Climatic changes seriously threaten Agriculture globally year to year, especially in developing countries like Pakistan. Agricultural productivity directly influenced by Climatic factor i.e., increase in high temperature, heavy rainwater, precipitation, flood and deficiency of irrigation etc. Climate patterns reduce global temperatures by 2.9 to 5.5 degrees Celsius by 2060, and crop yields are at high risk of these trends. Extreme temperatures negatively regulate crop phenology, leading to significant reductions in crop yields. Temperatures and changes in the rainy season affect the cotton growth and make threats the stability of cotton production and quality in Pakistan. Cultivation of Cotton is especially targeted on its thread, but its oil extensively uses as an incoming vegetable oil and make an essential contribution to the oil industry across the country. Pakistani farmers survey and prepare to get quality fiber and lint yield, Pakistan also meets 18.8 percent demands of oil from cotton seeds. Additionally, there is strong need from industry to strengthen cotton oil so it can be used directly as vegetable cooking oil. This research provides approaching into the climatic conditions of Pakistan and their effect on the production of better cotton.
