“…Farmers' are facing several constraints while adopting climate resilient technologies to the fullest. With the help of proper planning, suitable strategies, and efficient utilization of available resources it is possible to overcome the constraints (Shelar et al, 2022). The implementing agencies need to prevent such obstacles encountered by the farmers to enable full scale adoption of the technologies both in the short run and long run.…”

The two major agrarian challenges of the modern era are climate change and food security. Unquestionably the best way to address these issues is adaptation through climate resilience. Making the nation’s most susceptible areas climate resilient is the goal of the ICAR effort known as “National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture” (NICRA). Since the inception of the project, several climate resilient technologies have been demonstrated across the country. The investigation was undertaken to isolate the constraints in the adoption of these technologies in Telangana state using a sample size of 200 respondents from four villages in two districts. The findings of Garrett ranking analysis revealed that more interest to follow conventional practices, inadequate institutional financial support, inadequate services through CHCs and insufficient effort on the part of the officials to provide services to all farmers during the busiest season were the predominant constraints to the adoption of climate resilient agricultural technologies by farmers.

“…Wheat quality loss due to improper storage in jute bags exceed 6.6% under outdoor condition while this loss can be reduced to 2% when stored in metal silo [19] The advantage of silo bag storage it prevents grain loss during transportation, the atmospheric storage system as a result from respiration in grain and microorganisms increase Carbon dioxide and decrease oxygen concentration less than 10%. This creates an unfavorable environment for insect to repopulate and reduce the mould growth [20] The metal silo does not completely provide protection from insect damage and mould during storage, they suffer fluctuation in temperature, lumping of grains as a result of moisture condition in the internal wall and high energy consumption results in mechanical aeration [21][22][23] During storage, detoration is mainly result from interaction between the different variables (physical, chemical and biological). Growth rate of microorganisms that causes damage to the stored grains largely depends on temperature and moisture content of the grain.…”

Since the dawn of civilization, grain storage has been necessary to ensure food security. Grain storage has a more extended history than one might think and is connected to farming history. India is the next-largest producer of wheat, followed by China. In terms of food security, storage is primarily intended to keep grains for a longer time. It guards against degradation, exposure to the outside environment, and potential microbe and insect attacks. Silo, CAP storage, and Godown storage were used to test the wheat’s temperature and moisture content. To obtain the reading, a temperature sensor and a RH sensor were installed within the silo. Grain storage in underground pits was employed in the past and is still used in some regions today. The holes were excavated and measured at 1 m in diameter and 1 m in depth, with a mixture of 3:3:1 cow dung, straw, and sorghum, amounting to around two quintals each. A total of 10–20 wheat samples kept in the silo were examined for fungus and fungal development. The samples were placed inside a glass bottle filled with sterile water and closely watched to ensure that no fungal source entered the container used for collection. Each colony was isolated and purified separately once it emerged to obtain an isolated single fungus. The pure fungus was positioned and examined using imaging and organized on figurative plates under a microscope. The germination percentage in various storage arrangements was tested for seed viability using wet paper towels. For the following three months of storage, the temperature within the silo increased rapidly from 28°C to 35°C. The grain retained its quality during the first three months, and there was little to no infestation. The lower ambient temperature and measured relative humidity of 95–97% are to blame for this. Before drying, the moisture content in the silo increased from 11 to 17%. During the storage period from April 2006 to November 2006, the moisture content in Godown bag storage increased at the same pace as in the silo. Wheat moisture content rises in direct proportion to its storage time. This is thought to be the result of an increase in insect population brought on by the respiration of insects and wheat, which helped raise moisture content. All of the isolated fungi in the silo were discovered to produce a significant number of spores and conidia on their surfaces. Aspergillus is a harmful toxin-producing fungus well-known for damaging various seeds, grains, and nuts. It is also famous for its destructive properties.

“…In addition, crop insurance and timely credit facility need to be ensured. As these were the major constraints faced by the farmers, the suggestions were expressed in line with the constraints (Shelar et al, 2021). Assurance of timely and subsidized farm inputs is crucial for better production and productivity by reducing the adverse effect of climate variability in the region.…”

To mitigate and cope with changing climate, adaptation strategies are essential. However, farmers are facing several constraints while adapting to the changing climate. The study was conducted during 2018-19 in three major paddy growing districts of Kalyana Karnataka region of Karnataka state with 90 respondents. The Rank Based Quotient (RBQ) approach was used to assemble, tabulate, and evaluate the data. The farmers expressed the absence of a location-specific climate forecast and they couldn’t able to rely on available climate forecasts. In addition, farmers opined about the non-availability of critical inputs and fair prices for their produce. It suggested the farmers of the study region should be provided with updated and reliable information on climate change as this could help in improving their awareness on changing climate. The improvement of field extension connectivity and timely assistance to the farmers are required for better utilization of resources and adoption of climate-related strategic innovations.
