Abstract

High temperatures, unexpected rainfalls, prolonged droughts, and floods—together with other factors derived from climate variability—generate a high risk to the sustainability of agricultural production systems, mainly for small producers. However, the high adaptive capacity of some native genetic resources in the face of adverse conditions, such as those described, could represent a noteworthy strategy that small producers could use, combined with other actions, to improve productivity and guarantee food security. This work was carried out in 2022 in the La Mojana region in Colombia under a completely randomized experimental structure with three replications, which evaluated the physiological response of vegetable, transitory, and perennial species, selected by communities of small producers and the Zenú Indigenous population, to simulated and temporary conditions of flooding and drought. Based on the main results, in general terms, the physiological responses of vegetable species suggest that they were sensitive to flooding; nevertheless, under moderate drought conditions, it is possible to expect a recovery. The rice varieties, considered transient species, indicated—as expected—that humidity conditions favored them but also that the Chombo and LV varieties could recover from moderate drought stress, which would not be the case with the Bogotano genotype. Finally, regarding perennial species, despite showing a reduction in their gas exchange rates when subjected to either of the two types of stress, these values were again normal when they entered the recovery phase. Therefore, it can be concluded that the small farmers of the La Mojana region have native phytogenetic resources that constitute a strategy to recover from adverse conditions such as flooding and moderate droughts, relevant characteristics for adaptation to climate variability in their agricultural production systems.
