District wise rice and wheat yield prediction equations were developed for seven districts of eastern Madhya Pradesh using weakly weather data from 1980-2009. The coefficient of determination (R2) varied between 0.4 - 0.78 for rice and 0.6 - 0.92 for wheat in different districts. Model performance was evaluated with independent reported data for year 2010 and 2011. As the deviations for both the years were less than ± 15 per cent, the models can be used for predicting the rice and wheat yields in Madhya Pradesh.
