Assessing disease risk has become an important component in the development of climate change adaptation strategies. Here, the infection ability of leaf blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) was modeled based on the epidemiological parameters of minimum (Tmin), optimum (Topt), and maximum (Tmax) temperatures for sporulation and lesion development. An infection ability response curve was used to assess the impact...
As a consequence of future climate change, agriculture is likely to be affected, which would also lead to risk of hunger and water resource scarcity with enhanced climate variability. Currently, the estimated population of Bangladesh stands at over 143.4 million and is likely to be 214.6 million in 2050. To keep pace with population growth and shrinking land resource base, the food production needs...
Potential future impacts of climate change on irrigated rice and wheat production and their evapotranspiration and irrigation requirements in the Gomti River basin were assessed by integrating a widely used hydrological model “Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)” and climate change scenario generated from MIROC (HiRes) global climate model. SWAT model was calibrated and validated using monthly streamflow...
Research into rice—the world’s most important food crop—is crucial for the development of technologies that will increase productivity for farmers who rely on rice for their livelihood. This is particularly the case throughout the developing countries of Asia and is also true for much of Latin America and, increasingly, Africa. The benefits of such increased productivity will flow through to rice-growing...
