2.1. EFFECTS OF EXTREME TEMPERATURE IN CROP PRODUCTION

Temperature that is too high will increase evapotranspiration,thereby reducing the amount of water in plants .

On other hand temperature that is too low will slow the rate of growth as a result of reduced physiological processes and this may encourage plant diseases .

HOW TO OVERCOME EXTREME TEMPERATURE IN CROPS AND LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

_Adopting suitable planting time by planting the crops when the soil has acquired the desired temperature.

_Planting different varieties that can adapt to extreme temperatures .

_Planting an early maturing crop .

_Keeping animals which are adaptable to either high or low temperatures .
