About This Book

Agriculture is one of the human endeavors that is highly dependent on agrometeorology. Agrometeorology, which is short for agricultural meteorology, is a multi-disciplinary endeavor to optimize crop productivity, through understanding atmosphere and related phenomena. This book discusses the general and application importance of agrometeorology. A level of difficulty is added in agrometeorology by its variability. Therefore, this book looks at some aspects of agrometeorology like radiation, energy balance and hydrology and how they affect physical chemical and biology factors in crop and animal farming. The book further provides the reader with some recommendations of how to adjust effect of climate on agricultural products based on crop and animal requirements. There is wide ranges of initiatives and innovations involved in management of climatic effect on agriculture, ranging from affordable to expensive. This book explains some initiatives and innovations that can be applied by small and large farmers and big organizations like governments in trying to achieve food security. Agrometeorology management can complex or easy and affordable or costly, this book shows the collaborative approach to advice technical processes, resource exploitation and land use for adequate inclusive sustainable agrometeorology management strategies.
