Millsp] is an important semi-arid legume crop in India. In Karnataka, pigeonpea\r\nis largely grown in the northern parts of the state especially in Gulbarga, which is called “Pulse Bowl of\r\nKarnataka”. Climate change is one of the major challenges being faced by agriculture in the Semi-Arid Tropics\r\n(SAT) of the country. Pigeonpea productivity in Gulbarga is affected by large variations in rainfall amount and\r\ndistribution, increased temperatures, depleting soil productivity and disturbing water balance. Based on daily\r\nweather data of 41 years (1969-2009), productivity and water use of pigeonpea under eleven climate scenarios\r\nare assessed using the pigeonpea model in Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM). Simulations\r\nare done with automatic sowing based on rainfall and soil moisture availability during the sowing window (15\r\nJun to 20 Aug) and following recommended crop management practices. Simulations show that increase in\r\ntemperature by 2°C could reduce pigeonpea yields by about 16%. Rainfall decrease of 10% from present\r\ncoupled with 2°C increase in temperature could reduce yields further by 4%, making the total reduction to be\r\nat 20%. Crop duration was shortened by about 10 days and water use reduced by 25 mm with increase in\r\ntemperature. Increased rainfall scenarios have considerably reduced the adverse effects of higher temperature.\r\nBreeding of varieties tolerant to higher temperature and adoption of better water management (both in-situ\r\nand ex-situ) practices achieved through integrated watershed approach could play a major role in sustaining\r\npigeonpea productivity under future climate scenarios."^^ .
