Among the different weather variables, mean maximum temperature in March first fortnight and June second fortnight, total sunshine hours received during February first fortnight, March first fortnight and April second fortnight, total rainfall during March second fortnight and September second fortnight- mean maximum relative humidity during March first fortnight and mean minimum relative humidity during March second fortnight and July first fortnight were found to be significantly correlated with the pepper yield of succeeding year. By combining three weather variables viz., mean maximum temperature during March first fortnight, mean maximum temperature during June second Ibrtnigiit and mean minimum relative humidity during July first fortnight, a regression equation was derived with an R2 ue y can be used in predicting the pepper yield at the end of July first fortnight.ennullArticle
