Climate change greenhouse gas (CO2) impact – agriculture crop production: Quality improvement

Title : Climate change greenhouse gas (CO2) impact – agriculture crop production: Quality improvement

Abstract:

Climate change is a challenge to the environmentalist in developing abetment strategies to achieve sustainable development goal. United Nations framework convention on climate change and Kyoto protocol have acknowledge the climate change in impediments and counter measured promoting the preservation of ecosystem and impacts on global environment. The greenhouse gases : carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases has impact on global warming potential to comply with the IPCC recommendation carbon dioxide has been selected for mitigation using rhizosphere a green technology. In the present investigation climate change chamber has been developed where in the carbon dioxide simulation above atmospheric concentration, humidity, temperature, aeration, specific ultraviolet light has been provided for operation and developed atomization mode. The design of plant growth chamber- patented (design number- 409271-001 dated 01/03/2024). The pot culture technique has been adapted for the growth of selected plants Sorghum bicolor, Eleusine coracana, Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare in developed Rhizospheric soil (1:3, Mycorrhiza: alluvial soil) the plant growth under control of environmental condition continued up to 60 days with growth period 15,30,45 and 60 days. The biochemical parameters and carbon sequestration studied during this period. The rhizosphere technology has been found effective for the mitigation of greenhouse gases under controlled environment. This technology can be transfer from lab to land and industry for mitigation of climate change.
Key words: Rhizosphere technology, Greenhouse gases, plant biochemical parameters, CO₂ mitigation
