Abstract

Climate change is evolving as one of the leading environmental problems facing modern world. A serious threat is to the crop sector which is vulnerable to change in temperature and rainfall. Extremes in climate variations are increasing and threaten the security of our livelihoods and assets. Long term changes result in both creating opportunities and threats to crops and farming systems and timing of sowing and genotype selection affecting farm production. Therefore it is important to learn to live with these changes, make use of the opportunities and deal with the threats to prevent losses. This study documented different researcher’s results regarding sowing dates and genotype selection. The results indicated that both sowing dates and genotype has a key role in final crop productivity. The study suggested that sowing dates and genotype selection are to be adjusted according to changing climate to minimize losses.
