Themes of National Symposium

Innovative Breeding ApproachesDevelopment of oilseed crop genotypes tolerant to seasonal drought and oods/frost; development of cultivars with changed duration that can overcome winter; development of varieties for heat stress and submergence tolerance by integrating modern tools of genomic research, transgenic and genome editing technologies.

Climate Impact Mitigation Strategies: Resource ManagementClimate change impact studies through crop simulation modelling; Inuence of climate change (elevated CO and temperatures) on crop 2

growth, owering, seed yield and quality of oilseeds; microbe mediated amelioration of abiotic stresses, adaptation and mitigation strategies that includes; soil and rain water conservation and harvesting; soil carbon sequestration; site-specic nutrient management; land management and conservation agriculture; biomass energy and waste recycling and Agroforestry.

Climate Impact Mitigation Strategies: Crop ProtectionEmerging insect pest & disease scenario under changing climate; insect pest and disease diversity and ecology; pest-plant interactions in changing climate; biological based insect pest & disease management including biocontrol agents, botanicals and host-plant resistance; Pest forewarning, Microbes- formulations and delivery; Plant resistance and insect - virus interactions; climate smart/bio-intensive IPM modules.

Processing and post-harvest management and harnessing the potential of secondary sources of oilOilpalm, Ricebran, Cotton seed, Coconut, Corn, Olive, Tree borne oilseeds, Biofuels and value addition.

Innovative approaches for rapid adoption of technologiesImproving partnerships and fostering new linkages.

Policy Frame Work for Oilseed SectorDevelopment of weather based insurance; use of ICT’s for dissemination of climate information based agro advisories; Public-private partnership; successful models and capacity building in oilseeds; Marketing and policy issues for increasing the oilseeds productivity.

Panel Discussion –Devising Road map for enhancing vegetable oil production through Climate Resilient Agricultural Technologies Experts on Oilseed R&D, Processing, farmer groups, private organizations, NGO’s shall debate on measures for charting out Climate Smart Technologies for enhancing vegetable oil production in the country.

The Recommendations emanating from this National Symposium shall be thpresented in a special session during the 13 Agricultural Science

Congress (main theme “Climate Smart Agriculture”) to be held in Bengaluru from February 7-10, 2017 by National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), New Delhi.

Keynote / Invited Lead LecturesEach session will have presentation of Keynote and lead papers from eminent persons in the eld concerned followed by in-depth discussion.

Call for Extended SummariesThe ISOR welcomes participation of all stakeholders of oilseed sector including those involved in oilseeds research, processing, utilization of oilseeds and their by products as feed and nutraceuticals, policy making, pricing and marketing etc. The contributory papers will be displayed in the poster session in order to provide adequate time for interactions. The extended summaries of all the contributory papers will be published.

Invitation

Climate change impact on agriculture is being witnessed all over the world, but countries like India are more vulnerable in view of the high population depending on agriculture and excessive pressure on natural resources. The type and magnitude of impact will vary depending on the degree of change in climate, geographical region and type of production system. Several forecasts for coming decades project an increase in atmospheric CO with increase in temperature by 1.8 to 4°C, changes in 2

precipitation resulting in more frequent droughts and oods, wide spread runoff causing accelerated erosion leading to loss of nutrients and biota, emergence of new pests and diseases and thereby, threaten livelihood security of majority of farm holdings. In India, oilseeds follow cereals, sharing 14% of the country's gross cropped area and accounting for nearly 3% of the gross domestic product and 5.98% of the value of all agricultural products. Despite being the largest cultivator of oilseeds in the world, India imports about 50% of its requirements owing to the life style changes in dietary pattern and increasing per capita income. The diverse agro-ecological conditions in the country are favourable for growing nine annual oilseed crops, which include seven edible oilseeds (groundnut, rapeseed & mustard, soybean, sunower, sesame, safower and niger) and two non-edible oilseeds (castor and linseed). In addition, oilseeds of tree and forest origin, which grow mostly in tribal inhabited areas contribute signicantly as a source of oil. Among the non-conventional oils, rice bran oil and cottonseed oil are also important. Presently, annual oilseeds are grown on an area of 25.7 m.ha, with 26.7 m.t production and productivity of 1037 kg/ha for the quinquennium ending 2014-15. Many of the oilseed crops are grown under marginal management conditions and in rainfed areas. Only 28% of area under oilseeds is irrigated. The variability in annual oilseed production in the country is directly related to the annual variability of rainfall pattern. These make the oilseed sector climatically challenged. Hence, it is imperative to understand the impact of climate change on oilseeds in order to identify the adaptation strategies. Relative to cereal crops, very little direct experimental work was done to study the impact of climate change on oilseed crops. The major impact of climate change on oilseed crops will be due to drought. With decrease in number of rainy days, and likely increase in frequency of dry spells which will have negative impact on the productivity of kharif oilseed crops like soybean, groundnut, etc., whereas a sharp rise in temperature during reproductive phase causes adverse impacts on owering, fertilization and seed development in both kharif and rabi crops. Besides oilseed crops are more sensitive to even short periods of water logging that is the expected climate change phenomenon in addition to long period of droughts. Global climatic changes and increasing climatic variability are likely to exert pressure on agricultural systems including oilseed crops and may constrain attainment of future food and oilseed production targets. Under the changing climate scenario the challenge is formidable because enhanced production of oilseeds is expected with reduced carbon and water footprints. This task requires adaptation in the way of 'Climate Smart Agriculture' as a solution for enhancing the vegetable oil production. It is against this background that a National Symposium on “Climate Smart Technologies for Enhancing Vegetable Oil Production” under the aegis of Indian Society of Oilseeds Research (ISOR), located at ICAR-Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research in collaboration with National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, New Delhi is proposed to be organised during 19-21st January, 2017 at Hyderabad. The deliberations during the National Symposium are expected to take stock of several measures and the emerging recommendations will have enabling policies, institutions and infrastructure to make the farming community better informed and empowered with necessary resources and tact. Besides it will help NAAS, ISOR and IIOR in charting a path for achieving the goal of climate smart agriculture for enhancing oilseeds production in the country.
