Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Study of perception of climate
awareness constraints and impact of weather forecast in Bahraich
district (U.P.)” was done through Benchmark survey and weather based
Agroadvisory at selected- Banpurwa, District- Bahraich (UP) during year
2011-2012 to identify the production constraints; to assess the perception
of farmers about climate change; Vulnerability assessment of major food
crops grown in the area and Impact assessment of weather based agromet
advisories. Results reveal that Fragmentation of lands, low seed
replacement rate, Irregular supply of water in canal, Sandy loam texture
of the soil and technical knowhow, moisture stress at terminal growth
stages and low risk bearing capacity were identified as the major
production constraints. Soil nutrients status decreased due to climate
change. Sowing of the crops delayed in the recent last five years due to
climate change variability. By follow up the weather based advisory for
timely sowing of wheat crop (Nov.15) provides the profit of Rs 8400/ha.
Risk of four days in the adoption of the agromet advisory for fungicide
and spraying costs lossed 8.5q/ha yield which is equivalent to Rs
10,200/ha.
