abstract={This study examines the past weather impacts on <i>boro</i> rice cultivation in Bangladesh including physical input variables to explore the impacts of weather. A cross-sectional time series dataset over 44 years consisting climate variables, non-climatic factors, and <i>boro</i> rice yield across seven climatic zones of the country is used for the present study. Employing a panel data regression model, findings reveal that average temperature reduces <i>boro</i> yield growth whereas seasonal rainfall improves it. All the physical input variables have positive and significant impacts on <i>boro</i> cultivation. However, the contribution of non-climatic factors is much higher than that of climate variables. Finally, physical inputs should get emphasized to include crop-climate model to estimate the exact impact of climate change on <i>boro</i><i> </i>yield growth.},
