A Path Analysis: the Application on Climate Change and Rice Production in Northeastern Thailand
摘要
Abstract
The climate change plays an important role in influencing the growth and yield of rice. The objective of this research was to find the vague relationship between the climatic variation and rice production in northeastern part of Thailand. Five variables viz.—rainfall, temperature, GMI, humidity and ENSO show the most effect to rice production, high direct effects to rice production were rainfall and temperature, and indirect effects were temperature and GMI. In the case of drought or dry spell occurred, the suggestions for the farmers were set.
