Author(s) Umair Mehmood

Abstract Climate condition help in choosing the right crop for a particular environment, while theprevailing weather condition of that environment decides the potentiality of the crop.Among the crop growth in Pakistan, rice is a sensitive crop that depends highly onweather condition. For instance, if the water is not the limiting factor then the mostimportant weather parameters to influence yield of rice are temperature and solarradiations. This study examined the impact of climate change on rice; one of the majoragricultural crop of Pakistan. The scientific data who obtained from Pakistan AgriculturalResearch Council (PARC-Islamabad and Rice Research Institute (Kala Shah Kaku) forthe period 1970-2017. The study used random and fixed effect models to achieve itsobjectives. The findings show that temperature has a positive and significant impact onrice production, but if used increase can become harmful. However, the rainfall does notaffect rice production at any stage of production. The former should be aware aboutclimate changes through awareness program. More over government awareness programshould be focused on Majors crops because these crops are largely contribute to GDP.
