Written in a concise, straightforward style, the book presents examples of clinical applications (methods, techniques, models, and services) in varying climates and agricultural systems, documenting up-to-date research literature from around the world. Its systematic approachdifferent from most books on the subjectmakes it an essential tool for teaching, planning, and practical use by working farmers, as it examines topics such as solar radiation, effective rain, drought monitoring, evapotranspiration, and remote sensing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Agrometeorology: Principles and Applications of Climate Studies in Agriculture examines the developing discipline that international agencies such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have declared to be an important growth area in university education. A panel of academics, researchers, and practitioners explore the role of agrometeorology in optimum crop growth, from the interactions between meteorological and hydrological factors and agriculture, including horticulture, animal husbandry, and forestry. The book addresses pressing topics of agriculture resource utilization and management, such as regional and land use planning; soil and water conservation; frost; growing degree day; risk analysis of climate hazards; animal parasites; harvest forecasts; crop models; decision support systems (DSS); agroclimatological forecast; and the ecological and economic implications of climate change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Agrometeorology: Principles and Applications of Climate Studies in Agriculture also addresses: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e managing farm water resources \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e environmental temperature \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e planning for frost mitigation \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e thermoperiodism \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e managing the extremesdroughts and floods \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e using computers to manage agricultural systems \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e and much more! \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interdisciplinary focus and reader-friendly style of Agrometeorology: Principles and Applications of Climate Studies in Agriculture make the book invaluable to scientists, planners, and academics working in the major agricultural sciences, geography, natural resource studies, and meteorology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harpal S.
