Abstract
India is the worlds second largest producer of sugar after Brazil with an average annual production of 25.1 million tones, with about 5.1 million ha area under cane cultivation and its processing for value added products such as sugar, jaggery, bio-ethanol, paper, bio-fertilizer, power cogeneration etc. has drawn awareness because of its socio-economic impact and environmental concerns. Because sugarcane is a climate-sensitive crop, its global spread is limited based on a number of climate-related factors. Despite being a very slow phenomenon, climate change is currently accelerating due to significant human activity and natural disturbances to the atmosphere's composition. Numerous climate modelspredictions for likely increases in temperature, precipitation, and sea level indicate a concerning situation for the ensuing decades. Since sugarcane is highly susceptible to changes in temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and other factors, future production and sugar yield are anticipated to be significantly impacted. It is also commonly recognized that sugarcane is one of the most valuable commodities in the world and that demand for its byproducts, ethanol and sugar, is constantly rising on a global scale. As a result, research on how to produce sugarcane well in the face of climate change has advanced to the forefront and is a top priority for scientists everywhere. Advance agronomic practices, such as the creation of cane varieties that are suited to shifting climate conditions, land preparation, plantation timing and pattern, weed, disease, and pest management, nutrient management, appropriate timing, and sufficient water management, appear to be the most effective ways to achieve high crop yields and high-quality juice in the future
