Exploring impact of temperature and rainfall on Citrus Reticulata Blanco in tehsil Bhalwal, district Sargodha, Pakistan

The present study investigates the impacts of temperature and rainfall on the production of Citrus Reticulata Blanco in Tehsil Bhalwal, District Sargodha. Impacts of temperatureand rainfallhavebeen investigated by comparing and contrasting of meteorological parameters with C Reticulata production. The monthly averages of these weather phenomena since 2009 to 2015 were used to assess the changes and fluctuations in the weather of an area and the production of Citrus Reticulata Blanco. Weather phenomena and Citrus Reticulata Blanco production were compared and contrasted in terms of its statistical parameterization. The studied variables were plotted by using interpolation method in ArcGIS to see their spatial trends and patterns across the study area. The analysis revealed that the temperature and rainfall increased from 1986 to 2015. It has been depicted that the rainfall ispositively correlated with the production of CReticulata while temperature isnegatively correlated.
