Identification of climate induced optimal rice yield and vulnerable districts rankings of the Punjab, Pakistan

Abstract The study attracted to insinuate the inhabitant anomalies of the crop yield in the districts of the Punjab where climate variation, inputs utilization, and district exponents are indispensable factors. Impact evaluation of sowing and harvesting dates for rice yield has been analyzed. Suitab...
