Author Profile
Dr. K.B. Hebbar, Currently Head of Plant Physiology, Biochemistry and Post Harvest Technology at ICAR-CPCRI, has made significant contribution to the studies on climate change and abiotic stress tolerance of various field and plantation crops. Earlier he was involved in calibration and validation of a simulation model InfoCrop-COTTON, the same was later used to predict the production under future climate. His work on water use efficiency of groundnut was well recognized which led to the developm
About The Book
Plantation crops play an important role in the livelihood security of millions of farmers. However, they are predominantly grown in economically and ecologically vulnerable zones. Being perennial in growth pattern, plantation crops are exposed to climatic stresses and experience climate change in their life cycle. Thus, it becomes important to understand the effects of climate change on plantations and develop adaptation strategies. This book summarizes the information on plantation crops in cli
