Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2013 to generate the ground truth data of rice crop at Agro meteorological Research Farm of N.D.U.A&T, of Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) as to assess the evaluation of DSSAT model for genotypes under different weather conditions. Higher change (10.8%) from base yield was recorded with decrease of minimum temperature by 30C over normal while, higher 13.6% change from base yield was recorded with decrease of maximum temperature by 30C over normal. The yield attributing characters closely simulated to observed values under timely (5 July) transplanting of rice crop, suggested that the simulated yield were well within the accepted limits, therefore the model can be used for predicting rice yield and phenological events.
