IMPACT OF WEATHER PARAMETERS ON MUSTARD YIELD IN TWODIVERSE LOCATIONS OF INDIAAdita Mishra, Shraddha Rawat, Shweta Gautam and Ekta P. MishraAbstract Different weather parameters and its variation effect the growth and development of oilseeds, cereals andother agriculture crops. Weather also plays a significant role by influencing growth and pod formation ofmustard at various growth stages. As India accounts for holding 11% of overall mustard production in theworld, study on impact of weather on mustard yield and its correlation is of great importance in the field ofagriculture meteorology. Present study highlights the relationship between eight different weatherparameters and mustard yield at Hisar and Kanpurdistrict of India from standard meteorological week(SMW 40 to SMW 13) using SPSS statistical software. The result showed that Minimum temperature hassignificant positive correlation during flowering and pod formation stage in Hisar but has negativecorrelation during SMW 52 (pod formation stage) at Kanpur. Windspeed and sunshine hours has negativesignificant correlation in Hisar but does not show any significant correlation at Kanpur district of UttarPradesh. |
