MET 458 — AGROMETEOROLOGY
BSc BSc Meteorology and Climate Science · Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
Weather observations for agriculture, the meteorological variables: wind, precipitation, evaporation, evapotranspiration (potential and actual) temperature, winds and humidity extremes. Suggestion of suitable regions for crop production (agroclimatic zoning). Local variations and crop/animal production. Investigation of atmospheric conditions within a crop. Electrical analogues. Farming systems: Cultural practices including land preparation timing and technique as functions of the climate. Soil erosion. Crop-weather modeling for yields and growths. Microclimate modification for crop/animal production; irrigation, mulching, frost protection, wind breaks, evaporative cooling
