2.2.2. Meteorological Data

Average daily weather parameters were recorded during each growing season of japonica rice at both study sites through manual installation of the automated and computed weather station in experimental plots which was interlinked with the main weather station of respective study site. Variation in weather parameters was calculated every five minutes. The meteorological data record during the growth season for both sites was made for average, maximum, and minimum atmospheric temperature (◦C), soil temperature (◦C)

at different depths, relative humidity (%), daily precipitation (mm), CO2 concentration (ppm), and daily radiation accumulation (MJ/m2).
