Temperature in terms of thermal units could influence the crop growth and yield. Similarly different climatic and moisture regime may alter crop phenology, physiology and development and it may be induced on the crop by sowing crop under different sowing dates or environments(years).Keeping in view the findings of current study it may be concluded that crop respond variably under changing climate.Similarly, its need of time to develop a model between environmental variables like temperature and PTQ with crop yield under local environments in order to sustained crop productivity and to...

Climatic variation, continuously increasing population and market infrastructure are driven forces to reduce agricultural productivity and new management options and appropriate genotypes are the need of the day to be considered for sustainable production. Crop simulation models can be complementary tools in field experiments to develop innovative crop management systems under continuous varying climatic conditions. In this perspective, two dynamic crop growth models viz., APSIM (Agricultural Production System Simulator) and DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agro Technology Transfer) were...
