dc.description.abstract | Weather is one of the most important factors affecting the agricultural production. The increase in climatic variability and associated extreme weather episodes such as erratic rainfall distribution, abrupt change in day and night temperatures during crop season and sudden outbreaks in pest disease population, especially in developing countries, are throwing challenges to sustaining production levels of different crops. One strategy that farmers can adopt to sustain or increase crop yields in the face of a highly variable climate is to manipulate the crop environment through improved management strategies for adaptation. Agriculture is one of the most important sectors for India. Proper planning for this sector requires relevant and reliable information in timely manner. Information on crop, its stages and the week by week weather during the crop season is essential for proper management of agriculture. Thus, farm operations planned in conjunction with weather information are very likely to curtail the costs of inputs and various field operations. Crop weather calendar is a comprehensive guide for farmers. It is a tool that provides information on average weather of every week, planting, sowing and harvesting periods of locally adapted crops in a specific agro-ecological zone. Further, stage-wise pest disease infestation information can also be added. It also provides information on the sowing rates of seed and planting material and the main agricultural practices. This tool supports farmers and agriculture extentionists in taking appropriate decisions on crops and their sowing period, respecting the agro- ecological dimension. It also provides a solid base for emergency/ contingency planning of the rehabilitation of farming systems after disasters. The concept of using crop-weather calendar is not new. For instance, FAO calendars provide information on the crop sowing and harvesting dates, seed rate, operation timings of mechanical equipment in the period etc. Also, the University of Kentucky prepared production calendars for soybean and maize crops. This calendar describes the month wise weather and operations to be taken up during the period. | en_US |
