Abstract:
Karnataka, an agrarian state, is renowned for its varied agricultural practices, which make it vulnerable to the impact of fluctuations in rainfall. The monsoon precipitation is crucial in determining the cropping patterns and agricultural decisions. The state encounters two significant monsoon seasons: the Southwest Monsoon occurring from June to September and the Northeast Monsoon taking place from October to December. Inadequate precipitation and droughts provide significant obstacles to agricultural productivity in Karnataka. Insufficient moisture during the germination stage and crucial growth phases negatively impacts crop growth and development, leading to decreased yields and lower quality food. Droughts also have a negative effect on the availability of water for irrigation, making the situation worse. The study investigates the socioeconomic ramifications of droughts, including economic hardship, inadequate access to food, and farmer relocation. On the other hand, an abundance of rainfall and heavy downpours can result in waterlogging, flooding, and soil erosion, which in turn can cause harm to crops and decrease output. The study examines the detrimental impacts of excessive wetness on soil health, the leaching of nutrients, and the spread of pests, illnesses, and fungal infections. This study examines the consequences of waterlogging on the well-being of plant roots, the availability of oxygen, and the absorption of nutrients, which eventually has an impact on the productivity and quality of crops. The study emphasizes the susceptibility of the agricultural sector to fluctuations in rainfall and offers valuable information on the tactics used by farmers and the government to adapt to these changes. The research highlights the significance of implementing sustainable water management, climate-resilient farming techniques, and specific policies to improve agricultural productivity and guarantee the livelihood security of farmers in Karnataka.
