Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 55
Abstract
The Agriculture productivity is being affected by number of factors of climate change like rainfall pattern, temperature, changes in sowing time, water availability, evapotranspiration and land suitability. Temperature and rainfall are the key factors affecting agricultural productivity. During the study period 1950-2013 the Kharif and Rabi seasons maximum temperature indicated the negative trend while minimum temperature has shown positive trend. However, rainfall indicated the negative trend in monsoon season. The results of regression analysis have shown that increase in mean maximum temperature may decrease the rice yield. However, increase in mean minimum temperature may decrease the wheat yield.
