South West Monsoon and Rabi Prospects

摘要

Agricultural production and fertilizer use in India are highly dependent on rains received mainly from South-west monsoon.About 70 per cent of the total annual rains are received during this monsoon season spread across four months from June till September.Distribution of rainfall over time and space influences fertilizer use.Despite a record of good rains received at the aggregate level during the just concluded monsoon season,its improper distribution affected sowing of crops and fertilizer use adversely.
