utilization of water during the period of moisture stress and especially for
the horticultural crops. Fruit and vegetable crops also having potential in
the sequestration of CO
2
from the atmosphere, which alone contributes
about 60% of global warming. The appropriate of tactics to mitigate the
impact of climate changes is necessary to go for conservation of our bio-
diversity and provision of feed to our fast growing population. For this
diversification towards horticulture crops and blending it with others like
agronomic crops, animal husbandry, fish, pig, etc. together is necessary to
get sustainable family income and conserve natural resources.
