With climate change making seasonal weather patterns more unpredictable, the stress placed on crops is set to change and increase. The impact will range from unexpected extreme heavy rainfall to prolonged drought. Even changes in the length, start and end of the growing season are expected.
How to handle these external effects? By keeping crops in optimal shape and creating more homogeneity in the maturity of the crop, growers can – partially at least – mitigate the increasing risk of lower yields and crop failures due to climate change effects.
