Increasing Resilience in Crops for Future Changing Environment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Adaptive Agricultural Practices

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science ((BRIEFSENVIRONMENTAL))

Abstract

Increasing the resilience of agricultural crops towards various biotic and abiotic stresses is a promising method for maximizing the crop production under adverse conditions. In this chapter, we briefly discussed various integrated strategies for conferring drought, flood, salinity, pests, and diseases resistance in agricultural crops including the resistance to elevated CO2 under changing climatic conditions.
