The impact of climate on rice yield

Climate, Growth, Rice and Greater YolaAbstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of climate on rice yields in the Giola region. The study was conducted at a research farm in Sangere, Adamawayola, during the 2014 rainy season (June 3 to October 7, 2014). The experimental farm is designed based on the Random Complete Block Design (RCBD) system. Three kinds of selected rice; Nerica L20, Faro 44 and ITA 206 were planted, repeated and measured 3 times. Daily climate data is collected from the weather station of Modibo Adama University of Science and Technology. It was found that the change of rice yield parameters was very significant at P=0.01. Only in terms of yield and grain weight per field (g), Nerica L20 had the highest yield per field, while ITA 206 was in the study area. The comprehensive influence of climate on rice yield is found that the minimum and maximum temperature are very significant at P=0.01, while the sun is significant at P=0.05. Relative humidity and rainfall are also significant, P=0.01. In this regard, the cultivation of Nerica L20 in the study area should be encouraged. It should be encouraged to further study other factors affecting rice growth and yield in the study area, especially genotyping and soil influence.
