Climate Change, Submergence and Rice Yield: Evidence from Coastal Barisal, Bangladesh
Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: July, 01 , 2013In this paper, the effects of submergence due to heavy
rainfall and river over-flow on rice production in the coastal Barisal
region of Bangladesh is investigated. The study plots level data to compare
rice yields of cultivars in high and low submergence prone areas
and to analyze variation in yield when high-yielding varieties (HYVs)
versus local seeds are used. [SANDEE Working Paper, No 80–13].
