“…For example, a 1°C increase in the growing period temperature may reduce wheat production by about 3-10% [68], winter wheat productions may be decreased by 5-35%, respectively, under the future warmer and drier conditions [21,26], and corn yield may be reduced by 2.4-45.6% due to higher temperatures [27,69]. Even if precipitation is unchanged, the crop production may decrease by 15% on average due to the reduction in crop growth period and increased water stress as the result of higher temperature and evapotranspiration (Schlenker et al [63]; Yang et al [16]; Khanal et al [28]) expected precipitation reductions in arid and semiarid regions of the world, where water is already limited, can have dramatic impacts on crop production [32][33][34][35]. For example, in northwestern Turkey, winter wheat yield may decline more than 20% under future climate change because the growth periods can be shortened as a result Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Strategies for Agronomic Crops DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.82697 of increased temperature, exacerbated by a reduction in precipitation [21,[29][30][31].…”

Climate change is a serious threat to agriculture and food security. Extreme weather conditions and changing patterns of precipitation lead to a decrease in the crop productivity. High temperatures and uncertain rainfall decrease the grain yield of crops by reducing the length of growing period. Future projections show that temperature would be increased by 2.5°C up to 2050. The projected rise in temperature would cause the high frequent and prolong heat waves that can decline the crop production. The rise in temperature results in huge reduction in yield of agronomic crops. Sustaining the crop production under changing climate is a key challenge. Therefore, adaptation measures are required to reduce the climate vulnerabilities. The adverse effect of climate change can be mitigated by developing heat tolerant cultivars and some modification in current production technologies. The development of adaptation strategies in context of changing climate provides the useful information for the stakeholders such as researchers, academia, and farmers in mitigating the negative effects of climate change.
