Abstract:
Global warming, caused by the increase in concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, has emerged as the most prominent environmental issue all over the world. These GHGs viz. carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) trap the outgoing infrared radiations from the earth’s surface and thus raise the atmospheric temperature. As a result, the temperature of atmosphere and oceans is going up, snow and ice are fast melting and sea level is rising. This global climate change will have considerable impact on the Horticultural crops, soils, livestock, fisheries and pests. Horticulture is crucial for ensuring food, nutritional and livelihood security of India. It engages workforce in gainful employment and accounts for a significant share in India’s Agricultural gross domestic product (GDP). Several industries depend on horticultural production for their requirement of raw materials. Thus, the purpose of this review paper to summarize all the factors that affect horticultural production like fruits, Vegetables and plantation crops by the greenhouse gases and methane emission. So here, we review information on how horticultural crops face redox imbalance and problems caused by abiotic stresses through greenhouse gases and methane emission.
