Sunflower-Sunflower System

Comprehending impacts of climate trend, genotype, and management practices on sunflower phenological stages, phases, and yield in a sunflower-sunflower cropping system are critical for adapting to the rising temperature trend in the future decades. Climate change affects the biochemical, biological, and morphogenetic process of sunflower in the sunflower-sunflower cropping system, producing changes in crop formation, growth, and production. Climate warming is now causing ecological changes, making it critical to research sunflower plants with higher adaptation potential in the face of environmental changes. This study also looks at the physiological changes that occur throughout the growth of sunflower plants as a result of heat stress caused by climate change, like increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and higher temperatures. In sunflower crop, variations in growth, carbon, as well as nitrogen metabolism, and their influence on the physiology of sunflower, are explored. To comprehend the influence of climate warming on the sunflower plant yield in the sunflower-sunflower system, it is essential to comprehend how high carbon dioxide and raised temperature affect sunflower growth and productivity. Adaptation strategies are necessary to minimize hostile impacts of climate on sunflower-sunflower cropping system. In this chapter, different adaptation strategies are mentioned for this cropping system.
