Influence of climate changes on the geographical rapeseed growing conditions (case of Kharkiv region)

Keywords: rapeseed, weather conditions, temperature regime, crop rotation, species, growing technologies

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to determine the impact of changes in climatic conditions on the cultivation of rapeseed (on the example of Kharkiv region).

Main material. Dependence on weather conditions affects the stability of the country’s agricultural production. Recently, there has been an increase in the annual and seasonal average air temperature, which already has a noticeable effect on the gross yields of various crops.

The relevance of the study of rapeseed productivity depending on changes in climatic conditions lies in the fact that climate change has become one of the most important problems today. The negative consequences of this change, such as an increase in droughts, flood levels, and a decrease in the yield of various crops, significantly affect economic activity and threaten the food security of the world population, creating potentially unforeseen problems for the modern world. The research can reveal what climatic conditions have the greatest influence on the productivity of rapeseed in Kharkiv region, and what changes should be made to crop rotation and agricultural techniques in order to maintain high yields. Dissemination of knowledge from this research can contribute to reducing the negative effects of climate change on rapeseed and increasing plant productivity.

Conclusions. The topic of the research on rapeseed yield indicators is quite relevant and important, aimed at maintaining food security and increasing the production of this important oil crop in the face of climate change. The results of the study can be useful for farmers, agronomists, scientists and government agencies dealing with agriculture and food issues. The study of the subject will allow us to determine what agricultural technologies are the most effective for the cultivation of rapeseed in the conditions of climate change and what measures can be taken to increase the yield and economic efficiency of the rapeseed cultivation.
