Abstract

The primary productivity of the Rasalpura pond was estimated from March 2019 to February 2021 through relationship between abiotic parameters and phytoplankton density during the study period. The seasonal variation of primary productivity revealed that maximum and minimum values of Gross primary productivity and community respiration were associated with monsoon and summer seasons respectively. The minimum values of Net primary productivity were recorded during monsoon season and maximum during winter during study period.
