Environmental and climate changes and their impact on seed production: A review

Abstract

This study looked at how the rapid changes in the temperature and environment over the past few decades have affected agricultural seed production in terms of quantity, quality, and genetic diversity, both directly and indirectly.  Since seeds are the basis of agriculture, any disturbance to the conditions in which they are produced has an adverse effect on both sustainable agricultural productivity and food security.  In addition to environmental pollution and soil degradation, the most notable effects of climate change were emphasized, including drought, rising temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, and a rise in the intensity of extreme weather events.  It has been demonstrated that these variables impact mother plant growth phases, seed maturity, germination rates, and storability. They may even contribute to a reduction in crop genetic diversity.  Additionally, the study examined the role. The study also looked at how agricultural adaptation can lessen the detrimental effects of these changes on seed production. Examples of this include creating varieties that are resistant to heat and salinity, enhancing irrigation systems, and implementing smart farming practices.
