It's Importance
|
|
All agricultural endeavours are influenced by weather and climate
events. The benefits of understanding these events help in the
establishment of techniques and controls which foster a healthier
agricultural industry. It is therefore, very important for farmers,
researchers or persons interested in agriculture, to know that
there are daily, seasonal, and annual variations which play a
vital role in crop response and survival. The following information
can be used for a wide range of agrometeorological
interpretations such as planning and evaluating crop production, determining maturity
dates, early and late frost occurrences, etc.
