Watermelon farming in the era of Climate Change in Manipur

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: An interaction with the watermelon farmers in three valley districts (Bishnupur, Thoubal and Kakching) of Manipur was organised with the team of State Climate Change Cell, Directorate of Environment and Climate Change, Government of Manipur. Farmers are witnessing the sign of rising temperature, sudden and erratic rainfall, frequent floods and droughts on this era. At this uncertain climate, most farmers believed that the need of the hour is to promote crop that are both resilient and profitable. One option is the cultivation of watermelon (Citrullus lannatus), a species well suited to Manipur’s changing environment.
