Modelling the impact of changes in rainfall distribution on the irrigation water requirement and yield of short and medium duration rice varieties using APSIM during Maha season in the dry zone of Sri Lanka

<p>Rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in Sri Lanka is heavily dependent on the rainfall distribution pattern of the cultivating season. Estimation of the variation in yield and resource use efficiency of commonly grown rice varieties will be of immense importance when predicting yields under va...
