DEMAND FOR THE CROP
HOPE IT HELPS
• High yielding ability
• Early maturity
• Resistance to lodging
• Drought flood and salinity tolerance
• Tolerance to insect pests and diseases
• Chemical composition of grains (oil content, protein content )
• Quality of grains (fineness, coarseness)
• Quality of straw (sweetness, juiciness)
The above characters are less influenced by environmental factors since they are governed
by genetic make-up of crop.
2. External factors
A. Climatic
B. Edaphic
C. Biotic
D. Phsiographic
E. Socio-economic
A. CLIMATIC FACTORS
Nearly 50 % of yield is attributed to the influence of climatic factors.The following are
the atmospheric weather variables which influences the crop production.
1. Soil moisture
2. Soil air
3. Soil temperature
4. Soil mineral matter
5. Soil organic matter
6. Soil organisms
7. Soil reaction
