Impact of climate change on water stress in bean crops cultivated during the wet season.
Author(s): HEINEMANN, A. B.
Summary: The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most cultivated and consumed legume in Brazil and plays an especially significant role in the Brazilian diet. Reductions in agricultural productivity associated with climate change and an absence of adaptation are expected in the future, which will result in severe consequences for Brazil?s food security. In South America, there is a projected reduction in productivity for the common bean mainly due to the increase in temperatures and drought. Thus, the bean breeding program will play an important role in adapting common beans to climate change.
