Abstract

Predicting the effect of climate change on rice yield is crucial as global food demand rap-idly increases with the human population. This study combined simulated daily weather data (MarkSim) and the CERES-Rice crop model from the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) software to predict rice production for three planting seasons under four climate change scenarios (RCPs 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) for the years 2021 to 2050 in the Keduang subwater-shed, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The CERES-Rice model was calibrated and vali-dated for the local rice cultivar (Ciherang) with historical data using GenCalc software. The model evaluation indicated good performance with both calibration (coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.89, Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) = 0.88) and validation (R2 = 0.87, NSE = 0.76). Our results sug-gest that the predicted changing rainfall patterns, rising temperature, and intensifying solar radia-tion under climate change can reduce the rice yield in all three growing seasons. Under RCP 8.5, the impact on rice yield in the second dry season may decrease by up to 11.77 in the 2050s. Relevant strategies associated with policies based on the results were provided for decision makers. Further-more, to adapt the impact of climate change on rice production, a dynamic cropping calendar, mod-ernization of irrigation systems, and integrated plant nutrient management should be developed for farming practices based on our results in the study area. Our study is not only the first assessment of the impact of climate change on the study site but also provides solutions under projected rice shortages that threaten regional food security. © 2021 by the authors.
