Abstract

The study was carried out to find the quantitative relationship between weather parameters and district level yield of cotton. For this purpose 32 years weather and crop yield records of Junagadh district (India) were collected. A twenty six week crop period model was recommended for pre harvest forecast due to higher R2 value and lower simulated forecast deviation. The time trend, maximum temperature, morning and evening relative humidity significantly affected crop yield.
