Agro-climatological and agro-meteorological studies play an important role in the improvement of crop production in the seasonally dry areas. In India still around 60% of the arable land under cultivation is at the mercy of “Rain God” or Rainfed. Agricultural meteorology, when properly used, assist in both the farmers at the field level and planners at the regional and national level with better cost-benefit ratio for all climate-related recommended practice. The three important areas that require the assistance of agro meteorologists under this condition are weather forecasting, crop planning and crop forecasting. The present book deals with extensive review of model, method and practices of (a) climatic and agro-climatic zonation, (b) weather forecasting for agriculture using agro-climatological procedures, (c) crop planning using agro climatological procedures, (d) crop forecasting using agro-meteorological procedure, etc.
