Descriptif
In the present investigation, the impacts of the
variability of the climatic parameters on the yields of major
crops grown in the State are analysed. In particular, the
effects of rainfall variability on the water balances of the
different regions in the State have been studied. Through this
analysis the drought climatology of the region has been studied
along with an overview of the climatic shifts involved in
individual years. The relationship between weather parameters and
crop yields over the State have been analysed with case studies
of two crops- coconut and paddy. Crop-weather models for
forecasting coconut and paddy yields have been developed, which
could be used for planning purposes.
