In-Depth Information
• Strengthening laboratories with high-throughput techniques for en-
hancing the efficiency of ongoing research efforts in islands.
• The techniques identified for seawater affected lands need to be test-
ed in different crops so that these can be used effectively.
• The disease and pest incidence will be high in changed scenario,
so suitable IPM modules should be developed for minimizing the
chemical load in ecosystem.
• Water management will be serious issue in coming years in island
horticulture, so effective rainwater utilization strategies need to be
developed.
• Successful use of Remote sensing technology in identification of
rice cultivation need to be evaluated for coconut and arecanut plan-
tations so that senile plantations can be converted into productive
plantations.
• The potential of underutilized fruits and vegetables need to be har-
nessed in the context of climate change and food security.
