Abstract
India is one of the major oilseed producing countries in the world.
Among oilseeds, groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major oil seeds
crop of India. Groundnut in Gujarat is predominantly grown as rainfed
crop in five districts of Saurashtra region. These districts are Amreli,
Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh and Rajkot. The fluctuations in the
groundnut productivity over the years are wide and mainly attributed
to erratic behaviour of rainfall. The present investigation was
undertaken to study the effect of rainfall and its distribution on the
yield of groundnut and also to have pre-harvest estimate of groundnut
yield in Gujarat
