Date and Venue: Rubber Research Institute of India, Kottayam during 29-31 January 2012.
Special Theme and Objective: The special theme for the 24th Kerala Science Congress is “Climate Change and Plantation Crops & Spices of Kerala”. The special theme will specifically consider the challenges and opportunities of climate change with particular thrust on its implications on Plantation Crops and Spices. The impact of climate change in the form of climate variability like floods and droughts could adversely affect spices and plantation crops to a large extent and thus there is an urgent need to adapt crop management, crop improvement and crop protection strategies in tune with projected climate change scenarios so as to mitigate the ill effects of weather aberrations and sustain their production in ensuing decades.
