Effect of soil and water salinity on dry season boro rice production in the south-central coastal area of Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT: Salinity varies with location and time of the year. It can significantly impact crop production. The level of negative impacts depends on the salt concentration and time of its occurrence, which, however, has not been studied for many crops, especially for rice grown in the coastal area of Bangladesh. Our study explored the impact of spatio-temporal fluctuations in soil and water salinity on boro rice production in the south-central coast of Bangladesh. Here, we simulated the soil salinity from November 2020 to May 2021 for fourteen locations classes using the SWAP-WOFOST model. The model was calibrated and validated with measured secondary data. Next, the yield of two salt-tolerant boro rice varieties (BRRI dhan47 and BRRI dhan67) was simulated using the custom
