Abstract

Rainfall pattern and temperature variation are changing due to global warming, affecting crop production. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of rainfall on rice production during the rice growth phases over the Terai region of Uttarakhand for the period of 1997–2019. The impact of average growing season rainfall on rice production is analyzed using the statistical techniques. Results revealed that an overall direct positive relationship during the period 1997–2019 between the average seasonal growing rainfall and rice productivity. Correlation coefficient was found to be highest for U S nagar (R² = 0.1695) followed by Nainital (R² = 0.0488) and Haridwar (R² = 0.0263)

Keywords

Conclusion

The purpose of present study is to analyze the impact of rainfall on various rice productivity in the study area. The statistical approaches are used to investigate the impact of rainfall on rice crop for the period of 1998–2019. Rice productivity is greatly affected by the local rainfall variability
