Agricultural biologicals are a distinctive group of natural products such as topical or seed treatment products that are derived from naturally occurring micro-organisms, plant extracts, beneficial insects, and other organic matters. It is the fastest-growing segment in the agricultural input market. Biological farming is an environmentally sustainable and economical agricultural production system that encourages the adoption of safe products for the treatment of the crop. This is accomplished by minimizing the environmentally harmful consequences and by using non-renewable natural resources.

Climate change expected to intensify the demands of water use in agriculture as climate is the major driving force for crop production and water use. Studies on climate change have indicated the variation in temperature and precipitation patterns globally due to increased concentration of greenhouse gases. Global warming and its consequences have shown remarkable impacts on regional hydrologic cycle. Temperature and precipitation are two important climate parameters and plays a vital role in crop production system. The rise in air temperature and varying precipitation pattern may affect the crop yield and water use efficiency. Rise in temperature is likely to increase the evapotranspiration demand and water requirement for agriculture.
