Foreword

Weather and crop production are integral components of agriculture. During the era of global warming and climate change, the role of agro-meteorology in agriculture has become more important in mitigating the challenges arisen by climate change. Successful crop production depends on the prevailing weather conditions at different stages of crop growth. This manual has been prepared to enhance the understanding of undergraduate and postgraduate students regarding measurement of weather elements, their interpretation and role in agriculture and its allied subjects. All the authors of this book deserve congratulation for bringing out this manual for the benefit of students teachers, readers and all those involved in the measurement of weather data and its application in agriculture.
