Abstract: The secondary data on area, production and productivity of pigeonpea in Jalgaon district from the year 1991 to 2018 (28 years) were collected from Epitome of Maharashtra. The data on weather parameters considering the crop period were collected from Oil Seeds Research Station, Jalgaon. Looking to the adverse climatic situation and persistent changes in area, production and productivity of pigeonpea in Jalgaon district, the present investigation was undertaken in order to study the impact of weather parameters on area, production and productivity of pigeonpea.
The study revealed that the maximum number of years had recorded low and strong irregular precipitation distribution in Jalgaon district during the study period. The area under pigeonpea has been mainly influenced by wind velocity and number of rainy days in Jalgaon district. The production of pigeonpea has been influenced by number of rainy days and the productivity of pigeonpea has been influenced by rainfall and number of rainy days and indirectly influenced by relative humidity at evening in the Jalgaon district during the study period.
