Downscaling model in agriculture in Western Uzbekistan climatic trends and growth potential along field crops physiological tolerance to low and high temperatures.

ABSTRACT: The Global climate change is becoming an increasing challenge for agriculture. Beyond the increased local occurrence of extreme events high temperatures are becoming an increasingly present limiting factor in crop production. The agriculture in the West of Uzbekistan with very limited rainfalls is highly dependent on irrigation schemes using the Amu Darya water flow. With low Winter (freezing nights with minimum air temperatures of less than 0 °C) and high Summer temperatures (hot days and nights with temperatures above 35 °C during daylight, and minimum air temperatures of more than 20 °C during night time - tropical nights) the local continental arid climate temperatures are a main limiting factor faced by the local agriculture. The arid climate, with a crop production dependant on irrig
