Climatic change is one of the most important issues of present times, therefore, world-wide interest in global warming and climate change has led to numerous trend detection studies. Anthropogenic interference in the environment is one of the greatest causes of the process of climatic change in several regions of the world. This study focuses on the variability and trends of the mean annual, seasonal and monthly surface air temperature in Junagadh (Saurashtra region) of Gujarat, during the period 1980-2011. This study investigated monthly, seasonal and annual climatic variability in Junagadh (Saurashtra region) of Gujarat based on mean maximum, mean minimum and mean air temperatures. One of the main results of this study was the confirmation of a significant warming trend in average temperatures in Junagadh (Saurashtra region) of Gujarat. Analysis of maximum and minimum temperatures revealed a warming trend for the annual and all seasonal series. The warming trend for the summer and winter seasons was statistically significant at P < 0.01 level with a rate of increase of 0.006 C/year and less 0.055C/year. The air temperature time series were analyzed, so that the variability and trends can be described.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the field performance of developed manual operated weeder was carried out at Department of Farm Machinery and Power of College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Junagndh. Various parameters such as field capacity, weeding efficiency, draft requirement and performance index of the weeder were considered during the test. The developed weeder can work up to 4.0 cm depth of operation with field capacity of 0.0285 ha/h. highest weeding efficiency was obtained (i.e. up to 80.42%). draft requirement was 34.4 kg for 20 cm width of the weeder and the performance index of the developed weeder was obtained 1210.53.
