The challenges of predicting seasonal crop yields amidst fluctuating weather and climate extremes is a pressing concern, given the increasing unpredictability brought on by global climate shifts and their socio-economic implications. This research delves into the multifaceted dynamics surrounding this challenge, placing focus on the profound implications of droughts, especially in vulnerable regions like Cambodia. Droughts, characterized by extended periods of scant precipitation, have historically been disruptors of agricultural systems. Their ripple effects often cascade through economies, underpinning socio-economic upheavals that stretch beyond agricultural boundaries. In the study's initial phase, Cambodia's agricultural patterns from 2000 to 2016 were closely examined. The results were notable: despite the recurrent and debilitating droughts, rice yields consistently rose. This anomaly was traced back to shifts in agricultural practices, particularly the heightened application rates of chemical fertilizers post-2008. This finding is both encouraging and cautionary, hinting at adaptive resilience in the face of adversity but also flagging the potential environmental implications of intensified chemical usage. The research then transitioned to an evaluation of the efficacy of seasonal climate forecasts in predicting interannual crop yields. The inherent uncertainties of such forecasts, their potential pitfalls, and their pivotal importance were all evaluated. By integrating hydrologic models with probabilistic forecasts, a novel methodology was formulated, aiming to bridge the gulf between historical data sets and real-time climatic shifts. This approach was tested across Cambodia, offering a comparative perspective that enriched the research's findings. In regions heavily reliant on rainfed agricultural systems, the value of precise, timely forecasting cannot be overstated. The unpredictability of rainfall patterns, exacerbated by climate change, places immense strain on these systems, making accurate forecasting a backbone for effective agricultural planning. However, forecasting, no matter how advanced, is still beset with challenges. Additionally, the study revealed that among the myriad variables affecting crop yields, minimum air temperature and dry spells wielded the most significant impact, underscoring their critical role in agricultural yield dynamics. The subsequent phase of the research, therefore, ventured into data assimilation, exploring its potential in refining crop yield predictions. In essence, this comprehensive study not only sheds light on the intricate interplay between climate extremes and crop yield predictions but also charts a potential way forward. By blending traditional research methodologies with advanced technologies, it underscores the need for proactive, informed, and adaptable agricultural strategies. The findings from this research are expected to aid efforts aimed at achieving agricultural sustainability and bolstering food security in an era characterized by climatic uncertainties and evolving challenges.
