Estudiar la adaptación de cultivos a condiciones adversas y seleccionar líneas/cultivares más tolerantes a estreses ambientales.
The main agro areas in Chile will face Las principales áreas agrícolas de Chile enfrentará significant decreases in precipitation (between 20-40%). For that reason, the main challenges are to increase water productivity (kg/m3) and to adapt agriculture to water shortage using new technologies.
Global warming is causing increases in average temperature and increasing severity of droughts and storms. These environmental changes increase stress on crop plants and change pest dynamics. Integrated pest management programs will need to continuously adapt in order to keep pace with these changes.
