To keep pace with the increasing population, the growth in agriculture should not only be maintained but should also be sustainable in the long run.
Additional land is not available for tilling. Indiscriminate increase in other inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, water, etc has its own detrimental effects.
Major resource, not hitherto been tapped to its fullest extent is Weather and Climate.
Weather and Agri Production in India
In increasing agricultural production, meteorology has a vital role to play.
Farming community should be advised suitably so that the beneficial effects of favourable weather conditions are taken full advantage of and the adverse effects of unfavourable weather are minimized.
Agromet Advisory Service should be the focus of our new endeavour.

Weather condition and salient advisories
SATELLITE IMAGE, 4 UTC, 27th June 2008
Weather Conditions
• Yesterday’s upper a ir cyclonic circulation over north Bay of Bengal off north Orissa & West Bengal coasts persists. Under its influence fairly widespread rainfa ll ac tivity is likely over Orissa and south Chhattisgarh during 48 hours.
• The axis of the trough at sea level passes through Anupgarh, Pilani, Agra, Kanpur, Siddi, Chaibasa, Balasore and thence southeastwards to eastcentra l Bay of Bengal.
• Interpre ta tion of Numerical Weather Prediction models indicates inc rease in rainfall activity along the west coast and over northwest India after 24 hours.
Salient Advisories
• Farmers in Karnataka, Kerala, South Andhra
Pradesh , Maharashtra, North Chattisgarh , Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh , Gujarat and West B engal are advised to continue land preparation and sowing of kharif crops by utilising the recent monsoon showers.
• As rain/thundershowers are likely at many places along with isolated heavy rainfall over Andaman & Nicobar, North Andhra Pradesh, North Chhattisgarh, Assam, Orissa, Arunachal Pradesh , Nagaland , Manipur, Mizoram , Meghalaya and Tripura, farmers in these States are advised to undertake land preparation and sowing of kharif crops after current spells of rain.
• Farmers in West Rajasthan are advised to prepare the field and arrange for inputs for undertaking sowing on the receipt of rain.
Advisories for Pests & Diseases on Crops
• Attack of pests and diseases below injury level was
reported from the following States: Foot rot in pepper, gall midge and stem borer in
virippu rice, mahali disease in arecanut and bud rot, Eriophyid mite and rhinoceros beetle in coconut, pseudostem weevil, bunchy top disease, sigatoka disease and rhizome weevil in banana in Kerala.
Hispa & stem borer and diseases like blast & sheath blight in regular ahu rice in Assam.
Red mite and early shoot borer in sugarcane in Andhra Pradesh.
Mealy bug in tea and aphids in gladiolus in Himachal Pradesh.
• Monitor the above pest and diseases and if required undertake plant protection measures.
Targeted for State level planners e.g. state CWWG meeting.
This is also meant for other users like Fertiliser industry, Pesticide industry, Irrigation Department, Seed Corporation, Transport and other organisations which provide inputs in agriculture.
This is targeted for the farmers at large. Advisories are weather sensitive.Includes horticultural crops, livestock, agro-forestry etc.
In order to establish the Fifth tier and communicate the agromet advisory at district/block/village level District AgrometAdvisory Service meetings have been arranged with the stake holders (District Ag. Offices, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Kisan Call Centres, NGOs, ATMA) in 28 states.

To develop human resource in the field of agricultural meteorology
To impart training to support operational agrometeorology
To train grass-root level met. observers in recording accurate weather observations ensure to obtain quality data.
CSM Training
Training on RS and GIS
Training on Data Management - ERFS
Enhance the quality and usefulness of the AAS utilizing the Remote Sensing (RS) data.
RS based techniques already developed in India by DOS for crop acreage, crop condition assessment and yield estimation.
NOAA AVHRR data are also useful for assessment of crop condition and drought conditions.
Collaborative efforts are on with DOS & DoAC to generate crop and soil information at smaller scales for use in AAS.
Calibrate, validate and operationalise crop simulation models appropriate to each crop in different districts. Considering the number of Districts and the number of crops grown in each of them, a few hundred crop growth models would have to be developed, tested and operationalised. This is a highly inter-disciplinary task and experts in modeling, weather prediction, agronomy, plant pathology, entomology and other agricultural disciplines would have be drawn into the mission to make it successful. Final aim is to develop Expert Systems for farm level decision making.

New Products Needed
India Meteorological Department has envisaged launching a dedicated Weather Channel in India under a Public-Private Partnership mode. The Weather Channel would provide weather services through various communication modes like TV, Radio, SMS and internet portal.IMD would provide all types of weather data satellite, radar, seismological, astronomical, agrometeorologial, radiation, air pollution and hydrological data etc.All types of weather forecast, other periodical reports etc. would also be provided. Numerical Weather Prediction model products, customized products etc. on real time as well as the historical records would also be provided.

Yield models to be prepared jointly by IMD, DOS and DAC.Yield forecast will be updated with Meteorological information and Remote sensing data from SAC, in consultation with DAC under FASAL Programme
IMD would develop crop yield forecasting models at district, state and national level for the major crops of the country.
Crop forecast at planting stage, mid season and pre-harvest yield forecast will be made.
Crop models will be prepared by blending of statistical, simulation and other methods.
Remote Sensing data will be used to fine tune the agromet models.
