Ashalatha Department of Agricultural Statistics, College of Agriculture, UAS, Dharwad – 580005, Karnataka, India *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Climate change and agriculture are interrelated processes, both of which take place on a global scale. The study was undertaken to identify the trend in weather parameters in K e yw or ds Malaprabha Command Area (MCA). The research was based on secondary data of Trend, Sen’s slope, nineteen years (1999 to 2017) on different weather parameters such as precipitation, Malaprabha command temperature, relative humidity and potential evapotranspiration obtained from the area Irrigation Water Management Research Centre, Belavatgi under UAS, Dharwad. The Article Info statistical tools namely trend analysis, Mann Kendall trend test and Sen’s slope estimator were employed. The trend analysis shown cubic and quadratic models are suitable for most Accepted: of the parameters. Mann Kendall trend test revealed that most of the months showed no 04 November 2018 trend for precipitation, temperature and potential evapotranspiration at Belavatagi Farm, Available Online: 10 December 2018 except for few months, temperature showed the decreasing trend respectively in more months. At MCA, temperature and relative humidity showed decreasing and increasing trend in most of the months. Precipitation showed no trend in almost all months.
