Rainfall

 

The humidity in the air determines the type of crop grown in the area and the suitable season for crop growth. Seasonal rainfall is one of the most important. Crops require abundant rainfall to grow. But if the rainfall is not at the appropriate times, it will affect the crop growth in different ways. Changes in rainfall are essential for crops as each crop requires different amounts of water at different stages of its growth. Therefore, seasonally appropriate rainfall becomes important. For example coffee (coffea) requires dry conditions during harvest and before harvest. Abundance of water is also needed to grow corn crops in the same season. The amount of rainfall determines the crop grown in an area. Paddy is grown in high rainfall areas and pulses are grown in drier areas. Irrigation is required for agriculture in areas with low rainfall or lack of rainfall. Canal irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, centrifugal irrigation and drip irrigation are dealt with here.
