| Article Name : | | | IMPACT OF CLIMATIC FACTORS ON PRODUCTIVITY OF MAIZE | | Author Name : | | | T. Vasanth Kumar , D. M. Gowda and K. N.

Any change in climatic factors is bound to have a significant impact on crop yields and production. The present study, gives information about an impact of different weather parameters on the yield of maize. Secondary data of weather parameters for 30 years (1984-2013) was obtained from Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Kathalagere. The weather parameters viz., minimum temperature (oC), maximum temperature (oC), relative humidity (per cent), rainfall (mm), sunshine hours (hrs/day) and evaporation (mm) were considered for this study. Correlation and regression analysis were carried out to know the impact of climatic factors on yield of maize crop. | | Keywords : | | - Weather parameters,Maize yield,Correlation and Regression analysis,
