Abstract

The most challenging in twenty first century is the cause and consequences of Climate change and variability. It is hastening frequently by over population more in developing countries. Thus, it is affected several sectors, while Agriculture is the most vulnerable for climate change. As a result both biotic and abiotic factors are bottle neck for food security and sustainability. From abiotic factor, soil acidity is the frequently observed at area where received intensive rainfall due to top soil and metallic elements washed out. Soil acidity is arsenic, and causes abortion of expected production, especially susceptible crops such as Common bean. To overcome this problem, agronomic practices such as lime application, soil conservation techniques and appropriate root traits were reported. Root system architectures traits such as higher basal root number between 12 to 16, basal root whorl number of around 4, and shallow root angle of less than 15° were reported suitable to withstand soil acidity. Agronomic practices alone reported as it is tedious and also difficult to get complete genotypes with full of desired acidity resistance root traits. Hence several reported explained that using the desired root traits for acidity resistance genotypes and important agronomic practices obtained more valuable results as form of integration. Therefore, using the appropriate root traits and agronomic practices support with each other to reduces the syndrome of soil acidity impacts.
