Abstract
The present thesis consists five chapters including summary and conclusion. The Chapter-I introduces the subject of investigation and main objectives are also outlined in this chapter.
The review of relevant literature is presented in Chapter-II. The research methodology and material are described in Chapter-III. The time series data on wheat production, per cent irrigated area under wheat crop, fertilizer consumption for wheat, per cent relative area under wheat crop as per cent of gross cropped area, weather indices for maximum temperature, minimum temperature and wind velocity pertaining to the period 1990-91 to 2008-09 for Sultanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, India, have been considered for an empirical investigation. Block- wise time series data have also been used for estimating block level wheat production. The data on weather indices at district level has also been used at Block level.
The main objectives of the Thesis are to develop empirical predictive model for estimation of crop production at Block level using weather variables and other factors.
The result are presented in Chapter- IV. The inclusion of weather variables in the model as an explanatory variable brought little bit reduction in the percent standard errors of the estimators for wheat production at Block level.
