Abstract

Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture worldwide, impacting crop growth, yield, and overall food security. This review paper explores the multifaceted impacts of climate change on agriculture, with a particular focus on the interplay between agro meteorological factors and crop growth. Through a comprehensive discussion, we examine how alterations in temperature, precipitation patterns, humidity, and extreme weather events influence various stages of crop development. Additionally, we investigate the role of agro meteorological factors in shaping plant physiology, penology, and susceptibility to pests and diseases. Furthermore, we analyze strategies for mitigating the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture through improved understanding and management of agro meteorological variables. By synthesizing existing research findings, this paper provides insights into the complex relationship between climate change, agro meteorology, and crop productivity, offering valuable guidance for policymakers, researchers, and agricultural practitioners.
