Relationships of non rainfall events and total rainfall to maize yields at selected climatological stations in Zambia

Description :
Daily rainfall amounts were classified into dry or wet events to arrive at sequences of dry and wet spells at six rainfall stations in Zambia over a 19-year period from 1980 to 1998. In the resulting patterns, the total number of non-rain events per month were found to have predictive potential of maize yields than rainfall totals. - (AJC)
