The daily rainfall data for the period of 13 years (1989-2001) of different 15 rain gauges stations form the sub montane zone of Maharashtra were collected considered for analysis. Average weekly rainfall of all stations was calculated form the daily rainfall. The weekly assured rainfall values at 50 and 75% probability levels were computed by incomplete gamma distribution. Weekly assured rainfall was considered for Moisture availability Index (MAI). The wet and dry spells were calculated by Markov Chain model. The onset and withdrawal of monsoon were decided by weekly rainfall frequency distribution method. The zone is mostly kharif cropping dominated and hence there is vast scope for growing vegetable, fruit during kharif and rabi season as good irrigation and good market facilities are available. It is suggested to grow pearl millet + pigeon pea intercropping, fodder and horticultural crops like coconut, cashew, mango, and teak wood on shallow soil in addition to present cropping pattern. Similarly, in medium and deep soils in kharif season paddy, sugarcane+ onion, groundnut, sorghum, sunflower, soybean and maize and lucern for fodder purpose are suggested. In rabi wheat gram, sorghum, sugarcane, vegetables like chili, brinjal, cauliflower, cabbage etc. and intercropping as sugarcane + gram are suggested with the provision of supplemental irrigations.
