Paper Title
Impact of Rainfall on Sugarcane and Cotton Yield in Haryana

Abstract
Sugarcane is a species of tall perennial grass which is mainly used for Sugar production. Sugarcane is also used for biofuel production. Cotton is a soft, fluffy fibre that grows in a protective case and is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable, and durable textile. Sugarcane and Cotton are the two main Kharif crops grown in Haryana. Kharif crops are also known as monsoon crops or autumn crops. They are basically grown in the monsoon season of the Indian subcontinent and require good rainfall. The research analysis shows how rainfall impacts the yields of Sugarcane and Cotton in different districts of Haryana, both of them being Kharif crops. The district wise average annual rainfall for 2020 along with the average yield of Sugarcane and Cotton per hectare are taken for analysis from the statistical abstract of Haryana. The water requirements of Sugarcane and Cotton are High being Kharif crops, which leads to a major impact of rainfall on their production and productivity. The district wise map showing the analysis result helps clearly see the impact of a climatic parameter on the yield of crops. The research can be used to monitor the impact that rainfall has on the productivity of Sugarcane and Cotton for the farmers to take necessary precautions in case the situation arises when the rainfall is too little or too much during the crop's growing and harvesting seasons and for the government to formulate necessary policy measures for undesired situations.
