Outcomes of Increasing Heat on the Growth of Okra and Tomatoes: A Case Study of Chak Almas, District Jhelum
This study shows how rising temperatures are affecting the growth of Okra and tomato crops in Chak Almas, a village in the district of Jhelum. The research is based on interviews conducted with 30 local farmers who shared their real-life experiences about farming. According to their experience, okra bears better heat than tomatoes. In severe heat, okra continues to grow better, while tomatoes produce smaller fruits and are more likely to fail under high temperatures due to climate change. Farmers shared simple methods that can help keep crops healthy. The methods that are used by farmers include giving shade to protect crops, spraying leaves and watering them regularly, especially when the weather keeps getting hotter due to climate change.
