Agro-climatic conditions are very vital for growth and development of rice plants. Rice cultivars that were not bred and developed in the Philippines must be properly screened and tested to identify genotypes that will adapt to its new environment. Nine Korean and 3 Philippine rice cultivars were planted at the Philippine Rice Research Institute Central Experiment Station from 2011 dry season to 2013 wet season. The main objective is to test, identify, and recommend Korean rice cultivars adapted to Philippine conditions. Weather data such as solar duration and radiation, relative humidity, rainfall, and temperature generated from Automatic Weather Station (AWS) were used to study the response of Korean and Philippine cultivars. Other data includes plant height, days to 50% flowering and yield. Results showed that there were differences among the cultivars in plant height which ranged from 2.4-14.9 cm. Variation in days to 50% flowering were also observed. Yield also varied but was greater during dry season compared to wet season. Plant height was affected by relative humidity and rainfall especially during sowing and transplanting. During panicle initiation, relative humidity had greater influence on plant height. Other weather parameters such as temperature, solar radiation and duration had negative correlation with plant height. On the other hand, flowering was delayed due to low solar radiation and high rainfall. High correlation was observed between maturity and relative humidity especially during sowing and transplanting. Yield was correlated with solar duration and radiation. Dasanbyeo, Milyang 23, Hanareumbyeo, Hangangchai 1, and Saegyejinmi were identified most adapted Korean cultivars under Nueva Ecija climatic conditions.
