CROP PLANNING USING PROBABILISTIC APPROACH FOR MAYURBHANJ DISTRICT OF ODISHA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 35
Abstract
Rainfall data of 19 years (1979-2015) of Mayurbhanj district were analysed whose annual average rainfall is 1808.2 mm, with 100 numbers of rainy days, to determine the sowing period, seasonal distribution of rainfall and probability of receiving particular amount of rainfall in a week, month and season . Out of this 292.3, 1397.27 and 292.3 mm is received in pre-monsoon (January-May), monsoon (June-September), and post monsoon (October-December) season respectively. Probability for receiving more than 100 mm of rainfall can be expected even at 90% probability level in the month of June leading to the interpretation that rainfed rice can be taken in the district without any risk. It has been found that at 70 per cent assured probability level rainfall of more than 350 mms can be expected in July and this rainfall can be utilised in medium to lowland paddy areas for transplanting of paddy. On seasonal basis, rainfall at assured probability level of 75% the expected rainfall is 1260.6 mm, which is sufficient for meeting the water requirement of medium to long duration rice variety.
