Comparative Evaluation of WOFOST and CERES-Rice Models in Simulating Yield of Rice Cultivars at Navsari
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2015 to assess the prediction performance of CERES-Rice and WOFOST model for grain and straw yield of three rice cultivars viz., (V1:Jaya, V2: Gurjari and V3: GNR-2) sown under four different environments viz., (D1: 10/07/2015, D2: 25/07/2015, D3: 09/08/2015 and D4: 24/08/2015) with two nitrogen levels N1:75 and N2:100 kg NPK/ha-1. Results showed that the prediction of WOFOST model forgrain yield of rice cultivars under different treatments more close to the corresponding observed value with percent error PE between (18.66%)as camper to CERES-rice model with PE (28.56%), but for straw yield CERES-rice model give more close prediction than WOFOST model with PE (20.99%) and (27.33%) between predicted and observed value.
