Dry zone of Sri Lanka is the major production area of Other Field Crops (OFC) contributing to more than 80% to the national production Even though these crops have a high potential yield, farmers have failed to realize an acceptable level of this potential yield at field level due to several biotic and abiotic constraints

Very few in-depth research has been done on the impacts of climate change on upland annual crops in Sri Lanka Furthermore, most work on climate change impacts on crops have been done under controlled environmental conditions
- A Climate of Precarity: The Politics of Climate Change and Agrarian . . .
This research contends that addressing climate vulnerability in Sri Lanka’s north-central dry zone is less about responding to climate change per se, and more about confronting, at various scales, the underlying conditions that enable, produce, and profit from both climate change and agrarian precarity

This study was conducted under field conditions to determine the response of maize to temperature and different soil management practices during Maha season 2012 2013 at five locations (Rahangala, Peradeniya, Kundasale, Mahailluppallama and Kilinochchi) in Sri Lanka representing an environmental gradient together with three soil management
- Climate Change Impacts on Agricultural Sector in Sri Lanka . . . - Springer
The impacts of climate change and increasing concerns on environmental sustainability have imposed numerous challenges on ensuring the agricultural productivity of Sri Lanka The recent policy decisions of the country on environmentally friendly agricultural
- Exploitation of differential temperature-sensitivities of crops for . . .
However, yield responses to the diurnal temperature difference showed that differential sensitivity of the two crops to night-time minimum temperatures also played a significant role in determining their yield responses These findings are useful in designing future cropping systems with greater resilience to climate change
