Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The book could be named as the 'bible' of 'how to do in applied agrometeorology' ... useful for farmers and the welfare of people ... . presents valuable and in-depth information and enormous background knowledge for practical applications in agrometeorology and related services. It can be highly recommended for students as well as scientists, policy makers, persons in extension services and NGOs and others who are active or interested in operational services in the field of agriculture ... especially in and for developing countries." (J. Eitzinger, Journal of Agricultural Science, Vol. 149, February, 2011)

"The book on 'Applied Agrometeorology' by Prof. Kees Stigter is a result of author's 40 years of research, teaching and extension works on agrometeorology. ... The author needs special appreciation for enhancing the image of operational agrometeorologists like me. Should be on the list of all those who are interested to use 'Weather and climate' as non- monetary inputs in all agricultural operations. This book must be made accessible to all the countries through appropriate dispatch mechanism by the publishers." (V. Radhakrishna Murthy, Journal of Agrometeorology, Vol. 14 (1), June, 2012)
