Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation - Agriculture Sector

This guidebook describes crop and livestock management technologies and practices that contribute to climate change mitigation while improving crop productivity, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers, and lowering water consumption. It is co-authored by internationally recognised experts in the areas of crops, livestock, emissions, and economics, and we are grateful for their efforts in producing this cross disciplinary work.This publication is part of a technical guidebook series produced by the UNEP Risø Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development (URC) as part of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project(http://tech-action.org) that is assisting developing countries in identifying and analysing the priority technology needs for mitigating and adapting to climate change. The TNA process involves differentstakeholders in a consultative process, enabling all stakeholders to understand their technology needs in a cohesive manner, and prepare Technology Action Plans (TAPs) accordingly.The TNA project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and is being implemented by UNEP and the URC in 36 developing countries

B. carinata 226 was found to be susceptible stress at pre-flowering and post-flowering stages while B. carinata 241 at flower stage. Neither the changes in stomatal conductance nor in chlorophyll content cc fully explain the reduction in net photosynthetic rate (PN) induced by str B. carinata 241 had higher leaf water potential (\!fw) although, it had lower compared to B. carinata 226. Both the parents had lower PN as well as leaf tVw. ' stress response of PN in hybrids followed that in their respective female parents.Not Availabl
