Rice harvested area estimation model for rainfed paddy in Mekong river basin
Kenji Tanaka1, Koshi Yoshida2, Shigeya Maeda3, Hisao Kuroda4.
In Mekong river basin, productivity of rice is still low and unstable because more than
70 % of paddy fields were classified as rain-fed paddy. In addition, future global
climate change and land use change will make negative impact on rice production in
this region. In order to analyze the stability of rice production quantitatively, it is
important to consider the rice farming management such as strategy of rain-fed rice
yield stabilization. This management was defined as control their acreage under rice
cultivation depended on rainfall amount. In drought year, farmers abandoned some
paddies to cultivate rice and collect rain water from abandoned paddies to planted
paddies. In this way, statistic data of rice yield was more stable than that of harvested
area. In this study, rice production model was developed combined with distributed
type water circulation model. This model consists of three sub models, harvested area
estimation model used of FAO-33, yield estimation model used of Monteith equations
and FAO-56 and rainfall runoff model used of TOPMODEL. Developed rice production
model was applied to Mekong river basin. Mekong river basin was divided in 10km
mesh grids, and model simulation was conducted in 10km resolution from 1986 to 1995.
Simulation result of rice harvested area, yield and production were verified with the
statistic data of northeast Thailand. As a result, rice harvested area, yield and
production was good agreement with statistic data, and especially error in rice yield
was improved by considering the strategy of rain-fed rice yield stabilization.
