“…Day maximum-minimum temperature data was collected for January 2020-April 2021 from the Directorate of Agricultural Research, Khajura, Banke (Nepalgunj) district at the time of the survey, and given in Figure 2. The graph (below) reveals that, at the time of pollination, which overlaps in March-April months, the maximum temperature was 33 (Walker, 1969;Traore et al, 2000;Chaubey et al, 2016), and here the need for heat-stress resilient maize hybrid comes into action. Therefore, the development and deployment of heat-resilient varieties is an appropriate option or risk mitigation strategy to deal with the negative impacts of climate change (Acharya and Bhatta, 2013).…”

Abiotic stresses (drought, heat) are one of the major impediments to enhancing the maize productivity of marginal farmers in the facet of climate change. The present study attempts to investigate the impact of heat-tolerant maize hybrid on yield and income in the Terai region of Nepal. This study uses cross-sectional farm household-level data collected in August 2021 from a randomly selected sample of 404 rural households. We used a doubly robust inverse probability weighted regression adjustment method to obtain reliable impact estimates. Adoption of heat-tolerant hybrid increases yields by 16% and income by 44% in the spring season (a stress condition). Overall, yield increases by 12%, net income by 31%, saving of 40% in seed costs, and per capita food expenditure increases by 8.50%. Hence a conducive environment must be created for scaling up heat-tolerant maize varieties to increase productivity, minimize risk, and transform of the maize sector.

“…Riparian buffers were identified as a common strategy for reducing sediments, nutrients, and pesticides from surface runoff and therefore improving water quality (Ha & Wu 2017). These buffer strips adjacent to streams, lakes, and rivers may be vegetated with native grasses (Chaubey et al 2016), switchgrass (Ha & Wu 2017), and shade trees (Shannon et al 2019). However, Wilby & Wood (2012) identify potential issues with woody debris, channel roughness, and localised flooding.…”

Climate change will impact water bodies and create significant challenges for natural resource managers. Despite the increasing impacts of climate change on water quality, the development and implementation of long-term strategic adaptation measures are seldom governmental priorities. So far, research has mainly tended to focus on the availability and volume of water rather than the quality. Comparatively fewer studies have considered adaptation strategies that deal with the uncertainties of the impacts of climate change on the quality of water bodies. This paper reports the results of a systematic review of literature on adaptation options and the barriers and drivers that can exert a positive or negative influence on their implementation. Findings suggest that there has been and continues to be a cautious approach to a growing concern for a natural resource of utmost necessity. Most of the strategies mentioned in the literature use coping or incremental approaches. However, adaptation strategies offering low levels of resilience for addressing water quality may not be up to the challenge of significant future climate changes.

For agricultural research to seize the potential of data-driven technologies, profound changes are needed in the full spectrum of data management, highlighted by a shift of researchers, institutions, and agencies toward a culture of data stewardship. The USDA-ARS established the Partnerships for Data Innovations (PDI) in 2019 to achieve this transformation from within. From the onset, PDI has integrated its customer-partners in developing and implementing state-of-the-art digital tools, leveraging off-the-shelf technologies when advantageous. In its short life, PDI has transformed more than 100 projects, from projects catalyzing collaborative efforts and underpinning information management to those salvaging end-of-life data repositories. Empowered by this active inclusive partnership and through sharing digital solutions on a "Digital Research Workbench" within the ARS Agricultural Collaborative Research Outcomes System infrastructure, PDI hopes to accelerate agricultural research through standardization, automation, and integration and to help usher in a culture of digital age data stewardship.
