Agrometeorological research in developing strategies for improved food production
1986
Kanemasu, E.T.
Agrometeorological research in food production systems deals with the quantification of crop plant responses to their environemnt. This is a complex biophysical and biochemical system, and requires multidisciplinary teams to adequately identify and prioritize the issues limiting food production. Agrometeorological knowledge can be used advantageously for inc1655reasing and stabilizing crop production in different environments. In the semi-arid tropics, a strategy of stabilizing yields rather than maximizing yields is preferred. The meteorological data must be carefully edited and evaluated in relation to the crop being grown and the soil in which it is being sown. Because water is a major limiting factor to production in the semi-arid tropics, the development of the crop in relation to rainfall events and potential evapotranspiration rates is a major considera
