RESUMEN
Identifying important parameters in crop models is critical for model application. This study conducted a sensitivity analysis of 23 selected parameters of the advanced rice model ORYZA-N using the Extended FAST method. The sensitivity analysis was applied for three rice types (single-season rice in cold regions and double-season rice (early rice and late rice) in subtropical regions) and two irrigation regimes (traditional flood irrigation (TFI) and shallow-wet irrigation (SWI)). This study analyzed the parameter sensitivity of six crop growth outputs at four developmental stages and yields. Furthermore, we compared the variation in parameter sensitivity on model outputs between TFI and SWI scenarios for single-season rice, early rice, and late rice. Results indicated that parameters RGRLMX, FRPAR, and FLV0.5 significantly affected all model outputs and varied over developmental stages. Water stress in paddy fields caused by water-saving irrigation had more pronounced effects on single-season rice than on double-season rice.
