Navsari is situated in a typically tropical climate, characterized

by three well defined seasons viz., hot summer, mild winter and warm

and humid monsoon. The monsoon commences from the second weekof June and lasts up to end of September realized entirely from

South-West monsoon. artial failure of rains once in three to four

years is common in the area. July and !u"ust are the months of

heavy precipitation. The climate of this area is humid and the mean

relative humidity remains above #$.%& per cent throu"hout the year.

Temperature durin" the rainy season ran"es from %' to (''). The

temperature ran"es from %&.# to (#.'') and minimum temperature

from %.'to %$.') durin" the year.

The soil of Navsari is placed under Jalalpore series which is

deep, moderately drained clayey soil with medium fertility, classified

as deep black soil. The topo"raphy of the farm is fairly leveled.)hemical properties of the soil are as under
