Rainfall quotes

Abstract

Rainfall has a considerable influence on all crops, it regulates their germination, production and harvesting. It has a bearing on the life cycles of pests and incidence of diseases associated with various crops, while the period and quantities of its precipitation, whether light or heavy showers, makes all the difference on growth and yield. For instance, in New Guinea, it has been observed that the peak periods of coffee yield correspond with the periods of low rainfalls, and there is practically no yield during months of heavy rainfall.
