%X A reliable and timely forecast of crop production helps
in planning, formulation and implementation of policies
relating to food procurement, its distribution, price, import
and export and for exercising several administrative measures
for storage and marketing of agricultural commodities. Thus
pre-harvest forecasting of production is required when crop
is still standing in the field. An efficient forecasting is thus a
pre-requisite for food supply information system at district
and state level. The final crop production estimates, though
based on objective crop-cutting experiments, are of limited
utility as these become available much later after the crop
harvest. In view of this, there is a need for developing an
objective methodology for pre-harvest forecasting of crop
yield...
