Abstract
A survey was conducted under south konkan region of Maharashtra on the relationship between the yield of Arecanut and weather parameters viz. temperature, relative humidity and rainfall. Results revealed that annual rainfall above 4300 mm with maximum humidity directly proportional to arecanut yield. Also higher amount of received rainfall determines the annual yield of arecanut. Arecanut prefers high relative humidity particularly during the morning period throughout its growth period. Multiple regression equations were developed for predicting the areca nut yield based on weather parameters.
