Agrometeorological Advisory Services (AAS) play a crucial role in reducing weather-related risks in climate-sensitive crops such as paddy. This study statistically evaluates the effectiveness of AAS among 1,980 paddy farmers in Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh during the Kharif season of 2022. Stage-wise farmer responses were analyzed across ten crop growth stages using descriptive statistics, chi-square (χ²) tests, and composite index construction. The analysis reveals high adoption rates (76–88%), strong perceived relevance, and high satisfaction levels (>70%) across most stages. Chi-square results indicate a statistically significant association between crop growth stages and both advisory relevance and farmer satisfaction (p < 0.01). An Advisory Effectiveness Index further confirms maximum effectiveness during tillering, panicle initiation, and maturity stages. The findings underscore the importance of timely, stage-specific, and action-oriented advisories for enhancing climate resilience in rice production systems.
