It is aimed to examine the effects of environmental constraints on crop development and yield potential of cereals considering the phenological development periods with teaching agrotechnical practices to be applied in the future under climate change conditions.
Environmental conditions are the most critical elements impacting crop productivity and have a substantial impact on global food security with the effects of climate change. Increased variation and changes in climate conditions are expected to dominate future changes as they affect crop development and yield potential of cereals. Changes in climatical conditions will affect the timing of cereal crop development and exact changes will depend on variation and duration of phenological stages response to extreme wheather conditions. The effects on the phenological development periods caused from high temperature stress, drought, irregular precipitation and increasing daily temperature values during the development periods of cereals will be examined in detail.
