The technique of curvilinear correlation study has been applied in studying the effect meteorological factors on the growth of sugarcane. It has been found that at Poona of all the meteorological factors the maximum and minimum temperatures influence elongations most and that their optimum values are equal to 87.5° F and less than or equal to 68°F respectively. Rainfall has slight effect as the crop is irrigated. Curves for estimating the height of crop by taking into account the combined effect of these three factors have been worked out by this technique.
