Abstract


It is common knowledge that an intimate relation exists between rainfall and crop production. The quantity of rainfall received is as important as the nature of its distribution. "Unseasonal rain is as bad as untimely food". The unpredictable nature of distribution of rainfall is the reason for the oft-quoted saying that "Agriculture is a gamble with the monsoon."
