How can you develop agronomic products that are more resilient to climate change?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Climate change poses a serious challenge for agronomic product development, as it affects crop productivity, quality, and resilience. As a chemical engineer, you can apply your skills and knowledge to design and optimize agronomic products that can cope with changing environmental conditions and enhance crop performance. In this article, you will learn about some of the key aspects of developing agronomic products that are more resilient to climate change, such as:

1 Crop genetics

One of the main ways to improve crop resilience is to modify their genetic traits, such as drought tolerance, heat resistance, pest resistance, and nutrient efficiency. You can use various techniques, such as conventional breeding, genetic engineering, or gene editing, to introduce or modify genes that confer these traits. However, you also need to consider the ethical, regulatory, and social implications of using genetic modification, as well as the potential trade-offs and risks involved.

To develop agronomic products resilient to climate change, a holistic approach combining traditional breeding with modern techniques is essential. Strategies include breeding for genetic diversity and employing marker-assisted selection and genetic engineering to introduce desirable traits like drought tolerance and pest resistance. Implementing precision agriculture, sustainable soil and water management, and promoting climate-smart practices are crucial. Additionally, capacity building for farmers and supportive policies are necessary for the widespread adoption of resilient agricultural practices.

In my view, and in accordance with the most recent professional activities, developing agronomic products resilient to climate change should be dependent on developing more knowledge about the soil, rhizosphere, and phyllosphere Microbiomes. The sustainability of present and future agriculture depends on the microorganisms interacting with plants and crops, as they help plants to regulate stomata activity, water, and nutrient uptake, and induce of resistance both to biotic and abiotic stress. Together with the improvement of biodiversity on agricultural soils, the more we work with beneficial microbes, the more we prepare agriculture for the threats, and more demanding needs, which come from climate change.

2 Crop protection

Another way to enhance crop resilience is to protect them from biotic and abiotic stresses, such as pests, diseases, weeds, salinity, and water scarcity. You can develop and apply various types of crop protection products, such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, biocontrol agents, and biostimulants, to prevent or reduce the damage caused by these stresses. However, you also need to evaluate the environmental and human health impacts of these products, as well as the potential for resistance development and cross-contamination.

It's important first to understand which Agronomic products are affected by climate change, how they're are affected and how to improve them to make them resilient. > Crops have temperature range within they'll be productive. Any extremes render them unproductive or under productive. Breeding helps to improve resilience. >Higher temperatures reduces strength of greenhouse covers hence can be easily be torn by wind reducing durability. > Chemical sprays efficiency is affected by high temperatures both in storage and when spraying. Addition of adjuvants help to tackle evaporation. >Fertilizers - higher temperatures lead to volatilization in storage and in the field. Coating fertilizers help to increase their durability.

3 Crop nutrition

A third way to boost crop resilience is to optimize their nutrition, especially in terms of macronutrients, micronutrients, and organic matter. You can design and formulate various types of crop nutrition products, such as fertilizers, composts, biofertilizers, and micronutrient supplements, to provide the optimal balance and availability of nutrients for the crops. However, you also need to monitor and adjust the soil pH, texture, and moisture, as well as the crop growth stage and demand, to avoid nutrient deficiencies or excesses.

4 Crop management

A fourth way to improve crop resilience is to adopt best practices for crop management, such as irrigation, drainage, tillage, rotation, and intercropping. You can use various tools and technologies, such as sensors, drones, robots, and artificial intelligence, to collect and analyze data on the crop and soil conditions, and to automate and optimize the crop management operations. However, you also need to consider the economic and social factors that influence the adoption and implementation of these practices, such as cost, labor, and market.

5 Crop integration

A fifth way to enhance crop resilience is to integrate them with other components of the agroecosystem, such as livestock, forestry, and aquaculture. You can use various approaches, such as agroforestry, silvopasture, agrosilvopastoral, and aquaponics, to create synergies and diversify the sources of income and food. However, you also need to balance the trade-offs and complementarities between the different components, and to adapt to the local context and needs.

By applying these five aspects of developing agronomic products that are more resilient to climate change, you can contribute to the sustainability and security of the global food system, and to the well-being of the farmers and consumers. You can also expand your career opportunities and skills as a chemical engineer in the field of agronomy.

Climate change and resiliency have been recently studied in many countries. If you are finding response and effective ways to respond, always look for the Countries assessment to climate change and vulnerability. Many countries invest a great amount of funds to conduct assessment, including, agronomic and production and those assessment can serve as a guide as to what the farming, producer organization or stakeholders in the Agriculture sector are considering appropiate in adequate to invest, while you might want to pin point the reports in areas that can serve you, complement with your experience and expertise and you will be able to establish the best products with the highest impact.
