About the Book: Introductory Agricultural Meteorology
Introductory Agricultural Meteorology is a foundational textbook that
introduces students to the core principles of atmospheric and agricultural
sciences, with a strong emphasis on practical applications in farming and
agri-environmental management. Beginning with basic concepts such as the
structure of the atmosphere, solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind, and
precipitation, the book gradually transitions into specialized areas including
weather forecasting, climatic classification, microclimate management, and
agrometeorological advisory services.
The book explores the critical relationships between weather parameters and
plant physiology, highlighting how changes in climate affect phenology, pest and
disease incidence, irrigation scheduling, and crop yield forecasting. It
introduces emerging themes like climate-smart
