The first graph below shows the weight (in tonnes) of fruit produced by a farm during each month in 2013, and also the amount (in tonnes) of fertiliser used. The second graph shows the volume of rainfall in each month (in millimetres).

The charts give information regarding the tonnage of fruit produced on a farm per month in 2013, the
fertiliser
used and the monthly rainfall in that year. We can see that fruit production rose steadily from just over 2
tonnes
in January to a peak of roughly 4.2
tonnes
by August. Output
then
fell rapidly, declining to around the initial 2-tonne mark in December.
However
, looking at
fertiliser
use, we see that
this
seasonal pattern is largely reversed: the most
fertiliser
(just under 1 tonne) was utilised in April, followed by a marked decline to zero in June and July.
Fertiliser
consumption
then
increased slightly in the autumn, rising to a total of around 0.7
tonnes
before dipping to just below 0.5
tonnes
at year-end. Regarding rainfall,
this
appears to reflect the use of
fertiliser
, with an early high of 16mm in February, falling consistently to 4mm in July, August and September. Rainfall
then
increased steadily to reach 14mm in December.
