Abstract

Rice, one of the most important staple food, grows in varying agroclimatic conditions and its growth and yield is severely affected by changes in rainfall, temperature and solar radiation. In this study, DSSAT v.4.5 is used to simulate crop growth for three different cultivars namely NDR359, NDR-97 and Sarjoo-52, to know the impact of radiation and temperature on productivity of rice over Varanasi. The study shows that fluctuations in mean radiation and mean diurnal temperature impact the potential yield. It is also found that the Sarjoo-52 is the highest yield producing variety in the agroclimatic conditions of Varanasi.
