Achievements

  • Information on area and yield with reference to major crops grown in the region and climatic water balance had been collected.
     
  • For characterization, monthly/seasonal rainfall, their variability and probability using incomplete gamma distribution for Jorhat region was computed. Weekly climatic water balance and AE/PE ratios for Jorhat region were derived.
     
  • For studying crop-weather relations, one season's field experiment on rice and mustard were carried out. Phenology, leaf area index, drymatter accumulation, yield attributes were recorded on three varieties of rice and one mustard variety with four dates of sowing.
