Water and Nutrition: Necessary Efficiencies Facing of Climate Change and Variability
Alterations in the climate associated with climate change and variability are a reality and impact agricultural activities. The changes generated in variables such as: temperature, the concentration of atmospheric CO2, the intensity and frequency of the rains, and the intensity of the winds, affect crop variables such as evapotranspiration, CO2 fixation and, ultimately, yields, as well, such as the availability of land for cultivation. Facing the challenges posed by these climatic phenomena implies the approach of multiple strategies. However, the efficient management of soil, nutrition and water in the crop, constitute three key factors that help mitigate the foreseeable negative impacts. It is then necessary: the implementation of soil protection measures such as plant covers, the increase in soil biodiversity, the use of growth-promoting microorganisms, fertilizer sources that increase efficiency, efficient cultivars in the use of nutrients and water, and measures that favor carbon sequestration such as the accompaniment of the greatest possible diversity of plants to cultivation andthe reduction in the use of agrochemicals that allow reducing the carbon footprint of crude palm oil production. In this article, we will do a review of the efficiencies necessary in terms of nutrition and water management in palm cultivation is carried out to reduce the risk associated with climate change and variability.
