Principles and Applications of Agricultural Meteorology

The relationship between weather and climate and their impact on agricultural activities is widely recognized as a crucial natural resource. As such, it is a fundamental input in agricultural planning. Agrometeorology, a specialized field of study, focuses on the interactions between meteorological, hydrological, and pedological factors that influence production systems in agriculture and related sectors, such as horticulture, animal husbandry, fishery, and forestry. The role of an agrometeorologist is to define these interactions, correlate physical environments with biological responses, and apply relevant meteorological skills to help farmers take advantage of favorable weather conditions and improve agricultural production in terms of both quality and quantity
