Dear members of agromet,DSSAT and INSAM, Regards and Best wishes, All of us are aware that the fundamental investigations into agricultural meteorological questions of interest can be carried out more effectively with the detailed meteorological and biological information obtained from a "Principal agricultural Meteorological station". I wish to interact with a scientist/professor in agricultural meteorology under whose leadership such a station is maintained as per the WMO Technical Regulations to get some clarifications on technical matters. Examples: 1.The influence of cloudniness during flowering on grain yield loss of tropical cereal crops can be more effectively quantified and scientifically explained when simultaneous meteorological and biological information is recorded.Information obtained on these lines may be transformed into a useful agrometeorological service to benefit the farmers and a wide range of end users of agrometeorological services. 2.Similarly, an indication about the qualitative level of infestation on an agricultural crop by an organism can be effectively worked out and be used as an agrometeorological service with the data obtained from the Princial agricultural meteorological station. I am interested to interact on technical issues like this which are more directly useful for the farmers. Murthy. _________________________________________________________________ Pep up your screen!
