Exploring the impact of climate change on selected local rice genotypes in the Coastal Savannah agroecological zone of Ghana

In Ghana, rice (Oryza sativa) is the second most significant cereal crop after maize.However, rice cultivation faces several challenges, including low yields further aggravated by climatic variability, raising substantial concerns for food security.This study aimed to evaluate the impact of climate change impact on the growth and yield of four local rice genotypes (CRI-Amankwatia, CRI-Dartey, Ex-Baika, and Ex-Viono) cultivated in the Coastal Savannah agroecological zone using the calibrated and
