Abstract
Assessing the effect of weather parameters on wheat yield of Nadia district of West Bengal
Highlights
The weather data was collected from the Agrometobservatory of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, (Latitude: 22p 58’ N; Longitude: 88p 31’ E; 9.75 m above mean sea level) Kalyani, West Bengal
As per the wheat growing condition in West Bengal, the entire crop growth period was divided into eight fortnightly (FN) sections starting from November 2nd Fortnight (2FN) to March 1st fortnight (1FN) for convenience of the study
Emami (2007) observed that 20 to 22 oC maximum temperature was effective for good germination of wheat but the range was found to be little higher for the study region
Summary
The weather data was collected from the Agrometobservatory of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, (Latitude: 22p 58’ N; Longitude: 88p 31’ E; 9.75 m above mean sea level) Kalyani, West Bengal. It was observed that wheat production was good when maximum temperature was little bit high (around 30 to 33oC) during initial and lateral growth stages and lower (near about 23 to 24oC) in the mid-season (Fig.1). Higher yield was obtained from wheat when the maximum temperature prevailed between 27 to 32 oC during germination and CRI stages.
