Book Description
"The national ARS Wheat Yeild project was formally initiated in October 1976 with objective of developing a concise description of plant response to its environment which would include capability for yeild prediction. This document describes some activities and products of the of the ARS Wheat Yeild Group. The products presented here include brief descriptions of (a) project development, (b) data sets developed by measuring soil, plant and climate parameters through complete growth cycles of winter wheat and spring wheat at several locations and years in the Great Plains and Pacific Northwest, (c) dynamic simulation models of wheat growth and yield, and (d) methods for using remotely sensed data to assess plant conditions, provide early warnings of poor (abnormal) growing conditions, and provide surrogate inputs to the plant growth models"--P. [2] of cover.

Book Description
The chapters in this book cover crop -weather interaction and agro-met observatory, agro-climatic analysis, crop micro-meteorology, remote sensing, crop simulation models, weather codes and their management, integrated weather forecast and agro advisories, climate change, livestock climatology/meteorology and astrometeorology. To understand the text of the book, under terminology, simple details have been given for hard technical words. Further and above all, under practical tools, important computations and calculations have been given with example, which is the unique of this publication. The authors feel that this publication would be very useful to under graduates, postgraduates, research scholars, publics, teachers and also to the politicians to take policy decisions on the subject.

Book Description
Water stress and heat stress are considered to be two primary factors that limit crop production in many parts of the world. Global warming appears to be increasing the water requirements of plants. Understanding the impact of water deficit on plant physiological processes and efficient water management are of great concern in maintaining food production to meet ever increasing world food demand. The book addresses various climatic soil and plant factors that contribute to the water use efficiency in plants subjected to water stress. It covers all issues related to soil, plant and climatic factors that contribute to the crop responses to water stress. The books advances the knowledge in improving and sustaining crop yields in ever increasing unpredictable climatic fluctuations This book uses crop simulation models for response of crops to limited water under various management and climatic conditions.
