is one of the largest exporters of rice with the main supply from Red River Delta Rice production in Red River Delta is susceptible to yield reduction from rising temperature Thus, understanding the impacts of global warming on rice production is essential to food security in Vietnam in the near future This research used a reliable data of crop management in Thai Binh, located province in Red River Delta To simulate the rice production, I used the crop growth model, MATCRORice, first the model needs to be parameterized the phenology and dry matter partitioning, then I validated by comparing the simulated yield to observe yield Next, the model was used to predict the changes of rice production under warming scenarios (1.5 oC, oC, oC and oC) Results show that the yield reduction happened in all of warming scenarios and decline up to 39% compare with observe yields The yield will be improved by adding more fertilizer, but this application cannot offset the losses due to rising temperature This research got some limitation from both data and model, but it can contribute to the development of a national adaptation plan with a scientific basis Keywords: global warming scenarios, rice production, crop growth model viii 20 40 60 80 100 120 Days BT7 78 Global 30 74 AWD 79 Flood 77 Vegetation Stage 41 33 28 Maturity stage Figure 3.2 Heading date of simulation and global data 3.1.2 The effect of parameterization to Carbon partitioning MATCRO-Rice partitions carbohydrates in leaves, in the form of glucose into each organ Based on the biomass of leaf, stem, root and panicle as I mentioned above, I calculated the rate of glucose partitioned to these organs and fitted the curves for the ratios which made more suitable Figure 3.3.a, 3.3.b, 3.3.c show the relationship between the DVS and the ratio of glucose partition to leaf, panicl and root The red lines are fitted, dots are the observed value, solid lines show the values parameterized, dotted vertical lines show the heading date and dashed vertical lines show the harvest date 31 (a) (b) 32 (c) Figure 3.3 Partitioning ratio of glucose to organs including leaves (a), panicles (b) within shoots and root (c) Glucose transformed 60% to leaves within shoots is highest at DVS from to 0.3 and 40% of glucose transformed to root within shoots at DVS from to 0.3 which were explained that I assumed the glucose only move totally to leaves and root from the seedling stage to one month later and it reduce gradually and stop before heading stage – days Glucose starts transforming to panicle in the reproductive phase of growth and increase continuously and get the highest rate 20 days before the harvest date, I assumed that panicle still received 100% of glucose till harvest Table 3.3 shows the calculated ratios of glucose partitioned to each organ Organ Leaf/shoot Table 3.3 Partitioning parameters DVS 0.3 0.6 33 Ratio of glucose partition 0.6 0.6 0.2 Organ DVS 0.73 0.6 0.75 0.8

medium and low) and ranging from 4200 to 5100 kg ha-1 However, when I ran the MATCRO-Rice model with these above calibrated parameters, the simulated yields are higher than observed yields from 16% - 32% The reason was caused by the nitrogen response index in MATCRO-Rice model is not suitable with the simulation Nitrogen response index in MATCRO-Rice model shows the nitrogen use efficiency in rice production In this case, the efficiencies of nitrogen are higher than the extent of crop response to N existed Table 3.4 shows the simulated yield after changing the nitrogen response index in MATCRO-Rice model Table 3.4 The difference between before and after calibrated nitrogen response index Nitrogen application (kg N/ha) 110 78 55 Average Observed yield (kg ha-1) Site Site 5100 5000

yields which were simulated by crop growth MATCRO-Rice model were almost the same as observed yields The difference between simulated yield and observed yield is less than 10% except the case of site which cultivated under AWD and applied low fertilizer application (55 kg N/ha) Table 3.5 Percentage different between observed and simulated yield Nitrogen application (kg N/ha) 110 78 55 Average

site 2) and simulated yield is not statistical significant difference LSD is higher than the different between the observed and simulated yield The model and the observation have the difference but not statistical significant so the model can present the real situations Table 3.6 The statistical analysis of rice yield Site Observation Simulation Observation Simulation The different yield LSD 62 164 549 428 P value 0.59 0.14 This result show that the simulation yields always higher than the observation yield because in this model this yield is the attainable yield which nutrients and water non-limiting, pests and diseases effectively controlled so it makes the gaps between the simulation and observation yield 35 5250 5200 Simulated yield (kg/ha) 5150 5100 5050 5000 4950 4900 4850 4800

yields after adjusting the index of nitrogen response showed that this model could estimate the BT7 rice yield to other fields in Red River Delta 3.3 Impact of temperature increase on rice yield As mention above, the CO2 concentration in this study is fixed and I assumed that the CO2 concentration does not change when the temperature increase The reduction of rice production was recorded for rising temperature scenarios by 1.5 o C, 2.0 oC, 3.0 oC and 4.0 oC The increasing temperature changes the phenology of rice such as shortening the growth duration and reduced photosynthesis, glucose partitioned to each organ that led to yield reductions 36 6000 5000 Yield (kg/ha) 4000 3000 2000 1000 Observed yield 1.5 oC warming 110 kgN/ha oC warming 78 kgN/ha oC warming oC warming 55 kgN/ha Figure 3.5 Comparison between simulated yield, yield at warming scenarios applied for nitrogen cases (high, medium and low) Table 3.7 Influence of temperature increase on rice yield Nitrogen Percentage yield reduction 1.5 oC oC oC oC 110 14.78% 16.72% 33.30% 34.76% 78 18.20% 20.14% 36.60% 37.82% 55 13.16% 15.11% 31.47% 39.82% application (kg N/ha) In summary, the yield decreased different depending on global warming scenarios and the more rising temperature the more reduction of yield Therefore, the increased air temperature was the key climate factor predicted to decrease the future rice yield in this area The table 3.7 shows the percentage of reduction in each nitrogen application 37 CHAPTER DISCUSSION AND LIMITATION 4.1 Discussion As one of the most productive regions for rice, Thai Binh province is particularly important for rice market and maintaining food stock for over 22 million people of RRD The reduction of rice productivity combined with the forecast of a strong population increase in this region will be a challenge for food security Moreover, the livelihood of people who live in the RRD are mainly depends on rice farming and any changes to rice systems will affect the farmers as well This research results show that rice paddy yields will decline up to 20% under rising 1.5 oC and more yield reduction when the rising temperature is higher This reduction may be widespread in whole of rice farming in Vietnam in the near future if we not have any policy to adapt this Therefore, creating and implementing national global warming adaptation plans for rice production in Vietnam are necessary to sustain food security in the near future Figure 4.1 shows the menu for adaptation options on agriculture under the global warming scenarios and especially focus on paddy rice This menu categories the level of difficulty in implementing these options, the cost and effect as well Government, scientist, farmer and the enterprises should cooperate to make them not only high effect but also low cost which depend on policies of each country or region These adaptation options are given based on agriculture technology; ICT and smart agriculture; agricultural finance and infrastructure With the low cost, the farmers could implement by the changing in agricultural management like changing the planting date, more fertilizer amount or changing in planting crop or varieties, however, the effects are still low In recent years, the technology 4.0 in agriculture sector are propagated as the smart agriculture by using ICT to give the early warning system or real time monitoring system to identify the crop issues to control time These techniques need the contribution from the Government, scientists and company but the effects are accessed intermediated level Some other adaptations give the high effect by improving the infrastructure of 38 agricultural system such as changing the postharvest systems, building the irrigation systems or changing in land use but the government and company need the high cost on them Figure 4.1 Menu for adaptation options on agriculture In this research framework, I changed the fertilizer amount application in MATCRO-Rice model to assess the rice yield However, the increase in fertilizer application rate up to 2.0 times relative to the baseline for global warming scenarios could not reach to the observed yields 39 Assessment of Changing amount of fertilizer in global warming scenario 6000 Yield (kg /ha) 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 110 N 1.5 oC warming 130 N 2.0 oC warming 3.0 oC warming 200 N 4.0 oC warming Figure 4.2 Influence of N fertilizer levels on rice yield at different temperature increase scenarios Table 4.1 showed that although the fertilizer increases to 200 kg N/ha, it only helps to reduce 4% less than when applied 110 kg N/ha (reduction 35% instead of 39%) Therefore, implementing fertilizer application cannot offset the losses caused by the rising temperature Table 4.1 Yield reduction Nitrogen (kg N/ha) 110 130 200 Simulated yield under rising temperature (kg/ha) o o 1.5 C C oC oC 18% 20% 37% 39% 17% 19% 36% 38% 12% 14% 33% 35% To maintain rice yield in the future, local cultivar should be screened for tolerance to high air temperature (Prasad et al., 2006) In Vietnam, there are some institutes have been researching on breeding these cultivars, however the systems of distribution and sale of heat-tolerance is weak, and the consumers are not familiar with using these cultivars Furthermore, other effects of increased air temperature on decreasing yield in this model was come from the effects on multiple plant characteristics including phenology (shortening the growth period), photosynthesis Some other research showed that shifting to cultivars with higher transpiration rates 40 is the good strategy to avoid the detrimental effects of air temperature o photosynthesis, respiration and phenology Development of irrigation system is one of the effective ways to decrease the leaf temperature, however this solution is only suitable for the reasons which have plentiful water resources and good irrigation constructing systems 4.2 Limitations 4.2.1 Data gaps The effectiveness of calibration mainly relies on the reliability, accuracy of datasets and moreover there are enough data to calibration and validation In my case, I only have data of sites and using one cultivar BT7 to represent all management in Thai Binh province Besides, the biomass data was lacked leaf area index (LAI) and the data used in one summer crop that made the model to high uncertainty in this area Moreover, the meteorological data, namely relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed were assumed to be the same in the warming scenarios However, these problems can be adjusted in other study 4.2.2 Limitation of the parameterization This study parameterized for phenology and carbon partitioning Previous studies showed that crop growth model was also sensitive to other parameters such as management, maximum leaf area index (Wu et al., 2009) Although the calibration of these parameters led to the improvement for local scale rice simulation, more efforts are required to examine the role of other parameters for regional scales (province or delta level) Besides, I only considered paddy rice with full irrigation and did not account for pest or disease stresses With these optimal assumptions, simulation results were expected to represent the maximum potential yield that was higher than observations yield leading to unrealistic values for the parameters 41 CHAPTER CONCLUSION This study examines the potential impact of global warming on rice yield along with an evaluation of fertilizer adaptation measures in order to overcome the impact of rising temperature in Thai Binh province of Vietnam Using field collected data to parameterize and validate for crop growth model, I can simulate rice production for my study area The research results showed that increase air temperature is the critical climate factor that decrease rice yield, the reduction yields happened in all of global warming scenarios by 1.5 oC, oC, oC and oC The degrees of yield reduction could reach to nearly 39% compare with observation yields Therefore, to sustain food security, a variety of adaptation plans have been proposed like breeding new heat-tolerance cultivars, shortening the rice growth period, development of irrigation system but some options are high priority and high feasibility, but others are high priority but low feasibility Although, this study still got some limitation from both data and model, these results can contribute to the development of a regional adaptation plan with a scientific basis 42 REFERENCES Arunrat, N., Pumijumnong,
