IMPACT OF MONSOON DYNAMICS ON AGRICULTURAL STRATEGIES IN HARYANA

NISHA YADAV

Abstract

Haryana, a prominent agricultural state situated in northwestern India, depends predominantly on monsoon precipitation for its farming activities. Fluctuations in the onset timing, strength, and duration of the monsoon critically influence decisions regarding crop choice, planting schedules, irrigation management, and overall yields. This document offers a conceptual examination of monsoon variability and investigates how these patterns affect agricultural methodologies within Haryana. It discusses key climatic influencers, including the South-West Monsoon, Western Disturbances, and international climate phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña. The analysis underscores the importance of adopting climate-resilient agricultural practices to bolster adaptability and ensure sustained productivity amid shifting monsoon conditions.
