Abstract

Aim: The main aim of this study is to calculate the potential yields of rice by using Oryza.apsim module and the yields gaps in Mahbubnagar district, for 30 years (1993-2022).

Study Area: The study area for this research is Mahbubnagar district of Telangana State, India.

Methodology: Employing the crop simulation model- Agricultural Production Systems Simulator, specifically Oryza.apsim, this study assesses potential and actual yields over 30 years (1993-2022).

Results: Results highlight cultivar-specific potential yields and quantify two types of yield gaps. The decreasing trend in one of these gaps indicates progress but underscores persistent challenges.

Conclusion: This research provides valuable insights for improving rice productivity and addressing food security concerns in Mahbubnagar and similar regions.

Keywords: Rice, potential yield, agricultural production systems simulator, oryza.apsim, potential farm yield
