Climate change sends India's apple farmers up the Himalayas
• Apples in the Himalayan foothills are seeing the worst effects of climate
change.
• Temp. rose 0.6oC (global), 1.5oC (Himalayas) & 3.4oC (winter temp.)
• Due to reduction in snowfall by 36% (1980-2012),
• Apple cultivation in low altitudes reduced by 77 % (Solan) 1987-2007.
• Areas turning from sub-temperate to sub-tropical.

Arunachal apples losing taste due to climate
change
• Apple produced in Arunachal Pradesh are now
gradually losing their taste and even turning
sour as a result of climate change.
• Due to very heavily and erratic rains which
dilutes the sugar content of the crop

Key Challenges Posed by Climate
Change on Agriculture:
• Rising Temperatures: Impacts on
flowering, fruit setting, and ripening
processes.
• Water Scarcity: Increased
evapotranspiration and reduced water
availability affecting irrigation.
• Extreme Weather Events: Effects of
droughts, floods, and storms on crop

❑ Shift in apple cultivation towards higher altitude and cold
arid areas
❑ Shift in ecological zones
❑ Marginalization of apple cultivation from mid hills due to
lesser chilling availability
❑ Incidence and resurgence of insect and diseases of
horticultural crops
❑ Majority of the apple orchards in UK have become
senile/neglected over the year
❑ Insufficiently fulfillments of chilling hours and heat units
which disturbs the bud burst and fruit set

Effect on flowering
❑ Bud burst is advanced and the onset of growth occurs
earlier as in apple where most of the trees sprout 2-3
weeks earlier than normal sprouting ( mid April )
❑ Due to change in bud opening in March, they may
become Susceptible to frost damage
❑ Higher average temperatures lead to early bloom and
maturity, in temperate fruit

❑ Apples fails to attain their characteristic deep red color if
night temperature are high (11.5 & 21)
❑ High temperature and moisture stress increases sunburn &
cracking in apples, apricot, cherry, pomegranate etc.
❑ In adequate chilling due to enhanced green house warming prolong
dormancy
❑ Low warming scenario < 1 °C is unlikely to affect vernalisation of
high-chill fruit, and if warming scenario exceeds 1.5 °C it would
significantly increase the risk of prolonged dormancy for both stone
and pome-fruits

❑ Wetter, warmer winters favours incidence of diseases like
Phytophthora, Fusarium etc.
❑ Drier, warmer summers favours diseases such as Alternaria,
powdery mildew, sooty bark diseases (under moisture
stress)
❑ Warm and humid temperature favours apple scab
❑ Very dry summers results in increase in population of red
spider mite and aphids --- more problem of attacks on apple

Conclusion & Way forward
Integrated Cropping and Farming System
• One health (Soil-plant-livestock-human-environment-planet)
• Regenerative agricultural principles
• Natural insurance (Gandhian Principle) against weather/climate related
risks
• Biodiversity conservation and utilization
• Round the year income
• Sustainability
• Decent self employment
• Offers scope to retain rural youth
• Household level food and nutritional security
• 13 SDGs directly, 4 through landscape-based farming systems
• Fits very well in Integrated cropping and farming systems
• Need to develop farming systems value chain
Climate change poses significant challenges to fruit production, but resilient
systems offer solutions.
Agroecological practices, efficient water management, and technology
adoption are crucial.
