Abstract:
Climate is a complex phenomenon and continuously
changes spatially and temporally affecting agriculture. Even
with minor deviations from the normal weather, significant
changes happened in the crop production and productivity.
Many studies have been reported on trend analysis of
rainfall and temperature in different parts of India. (Kumar
and Sani 2010; Rai. et al. 2010; Patra et al 2012). But no work
has been done for this region, hence this study was
undertaken. The rainfall and temperature trend have been
investigated using parametric and non-parametric statistical
tests for the period 1971 to 2010 data of Tawa command area
of Madhya Pradesh, obtained from IMD Pune.
