Abstract


The daily rainfall data for the 15 years (1974-1988) recorded at Agricultural Meteoro- logical observatory, Berhampur, Ganjam, were analysed for annual, seasonal, monthly and weekly periods and presented in this paper. Based on the rainfall pattern, a suitable cropping system of growing cowpea fodder, pigeonpea or ground nut, sesamum, horsegram, greenmanure as main crops and fingermillet and greengram as inter crops have been suggested with minimum risk to utilise the rainfall efficiently for increasing the income of the farmers.
