Monsoons at Gudiyattam (North Arcot District)

Abstract

At Gudiyattam a Sugarcane Research Station was established by the middle of February, 1935 with the object of catering to the needs of the Central districts of the Madras State, which grow sugarcane on a large scale with the aid of lift irrigation. Sugarcane is a crop that stands in the field for fairly a long period of eleven to twelve months. Though this crop is raised under irrigated conditions, its response to natural rains is really appreciable. Hence a statistical study of interseasonal rains with specific reference to the two monsoon periods was undertaken.
