Farmers in the Bengal Delta are confronted with increasing hydroclimatic risks due to climate variability and change. The co-production of climate information services that address the farmers' needs could potentially assist farmers with climate-sensitive decision-making and managing their risks. Th...

Hydroclimatic information services are vital for sustainable agricultural practices in deltas. They advance adaptation practices of farmers that lead to better economic benefit through increased yields, reduced production costs, and minimized crop damage. This research explores the hydroclimatic inf...

Rice farmers in coastal Bangladesh are severely affected by climate change. Climate variability and change impact crop production in numerous ways, including by changing occurrences of different rice diseases. Weather and climate information services (WCIS) can assist farmers in improving agricultur...

Abstract Climate change has added a new dimension to the unpredictability of rice yields. Climate variability and change directly impact rice yields through fluctuations in climatic variables. Changes in temperature, rainfall, and humidity may facilitate the spread of pests and diseases, further com...

Climate change has given a new dimension to the unpredictability of rice yields. Climate variability and change impact rice yield directly through the variation of climatic variables. Rice yield is also affected by pests and disease occurrences. However, climatic impacts on rice pests and diseases a...
