1. Changes in climatic factors lead to the change in cultural wedging of rice in the Ivorian pre-forest zone

Climate change in the pre-forest zone of Cote d'Ivoire has led to a mismatch between cropping periods and new seasons, challenging the sowing periods usually recommended for rainfed rice cultivation in this area. Our study aims to determine the optimal sowing period for two rainfed rice varieties cultivated in this pre-forest zone of the country. The agroclimatic analysis carried out over the period 1980-2017 allowed to determine the optimal dates for sowing rice,... C. Brou
