Abstract

Wheat is the major cereal crop of winter season in the Indo-gangetic plains of India. The study is aimed to analyze impact of climate change on wheat varieties viz. K-9107 and HD-2733, under two different agroclimatic zones using simulation model InfoCrop. Model was calibrated and validated for Patna and Ranchi centres. Sensitivity analysis indicated declining yield trend with increase in temperature. Wheat yields simulated for future climate change scenario HADCM3 A2 for different time periods viz. 2020, 2050 and 2080. Simulated wheat yield showed decline from 3 to 38 percent for Patna and 3 to 28 percent for Ranchi. Due to higher temperature in future scenario the days to anthesis, days to maturity and grain number showed decline for both the locations.
