Abstract

An attempt has been made for obtaining a relationship be:tween biomass production in ragi (Eleusme coracana Gaertn)-Indaf 5, grown over Bangalore GKVK farm during the period 1932 to 1985 and a few selected weather parameters, namely growing degree days, open pan evaporation and evapotranspiration. The equation or the form Y = ea+b log x, where Y is the biomass production in quintals/hectare and x is the growing degree days or open pan evaporation or evapotranspiration, Is most satisfactory. The other forms of equation considered for suitability are :

Y=a+bx, Y=a+b log x and Y=ea+bx
