CLIMATIC CONDITIONS REQUIRED AND FACTORS AFFECTING THE PRODUCTION OF SWEET POTATO
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Sweet potato is a subtropical crop. It requires moderate temperature ranging between 21-26°C. It requires the average temperature 75°F (24°C) for growth. The other factor that also have significant effect on growth are abundant sunlight, warm nights,annual rainfall [(750-1000mm), with minimum range of 500mm in growing time]. Climate change such as global warming, elevated CO2 concentration, high temperature etc affects sweet potato production worldwide. Elevated CO2 cause malformation of tuber. High temperature also causes reduced yield. Overall climate change affects sweet potato greatly.
