  Simulation Study on Climate Change Impact and Management Options for Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] Production in the SemiArid Northeastern Ethiopia
  Author(s): Abebe Misganaw* and Adem Mohammed
  
  Climate change is one of the current issues that severely influence all climate sensitive sectors like agriculture. Crop management options are needed to minimize the impact and sustain regional food production.The objectives of this study were (1) to calibrate and evaluate the CERES-Sorghum Model of DSSAT (V4.7) for simulating phenology, growth and yield of sorghum (2) to assess projected climate changes (2030s and 2050s) in the study area (3) to simulate impact of projected climate change on phenology, above ground biomass and grain yield of sorghum (4) to explore the possibility of employing supplemental irrigation and sorghum cultivars as management options. The CERES-sorghum model in DSSAT (V4.7) was first calibrated and evaluatedfor sorghum cultivarGirana-1 using experimental data. Daily weather variables (1980–2009) that include rainfall, maximum temperature, minimum temp.. View more»
