The year climate signal of the equatorial Pacific Ocean sea surface pattern in association with the Southern Oscillation has been responsible in altering weather systems in impacting the aberrated climate scenario across the globe. A comparison of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI) pattern over the five selected regions in India with the derived moisture adequacy from the water balance model and multivariate ENSO index unfolded the phenological feature of greenness up and down with a lag. It is assumed that a 60% of moisture adequacy is essential for the sustenance of crop or vegetation growth and development and can be traced in metric of NDVI. A statistical model is suggested for All India rice yield and is of useful in agrometeorological advisories.
