Sweet Corn-Bell Pepper System

Global climate change will have an influence on agriculture and, as a result, the availability of food. The plant growth, time of flowering, pollination, fruit set, and development of vegetable crops can all be negatively impacted by the rapid rise in temperature and erratic rainfall at any stage of crop development, reducing crop production. One of the most widely consumed vegetable crops worldwide are sweet pepper and sweet corn; however, climate variations have an impact on how productive they are. Various crop models are used to assess climate change and its effects on vegetables in the sweet corn and sweet pepper cropping systems. This chapter examines how increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, warming temperatures, and heat stress affect sweet corn and sweet pepper crops’ physiology, phenology, growth, and yield. Additionally, implementing novel adaptation tactics improves crop output in the sweet corn and sweet pepper cropping systems and helps to adapt to upcoming climate changes.
