The analysis of data collected from international experiments on lucerne : (report of the CAgM Working group on international experiments for the acquisition of Lucerne/Weather Data)
International experiments on lucerne are described and an analysis is given of the results with regard to growth, development and yield. Lucerne weather models are presented and recommendations made on the cultivation and adoption of this forage crop.
Land use and agrosystem management under severe climatic conditions
In this Technical Note on the general principles of land use in regions with severe climates, regions have been defined according to the macro-environment they represent: arid, semi-arid, extreme monsoon, humid tropical and cold. A separate chapter is devoted to the land use and agrosystem management of each type of region.

Weather-based mathematical models for estimating development and ripening of crops
A treatment of the formulation and operation of various models which relate the rate of crop development to certain environ-mental factors (mainly temperature and photoperiod). Many applications are discussed, including crop zonation, land-use planning, management and operation of the production and processing of crops, characterizing genotype response to the environment and use as a biological time-scale submodel for monitoring crop conditions and forecasting yield.

Weather and airborne organisms
An outline of commonly observed weather changes which are important in aerobiology, followed by the background information required to understand the take-off, displacement, dispersion and landing of airborne organisms, as well as their death in the air. Reviews from literature have been included to show the many kinds of organisms, scales of effect and kinds of observing and analysis techniques used. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for further work in the field are given.
Soya bean and weather
This Technical Note reviews the present knowledge of the climatic factors limiting profitable production of the soya bean crop, from germination to harvest.

Climate under glass
In recent years greenhouse climatology has become a special branch of research in agricultural meteorology. The results of climatological investigations in greenhouses should indicate to the agriculturalist the meteorological conditions at his disposal for the cultivation of certain crops at any lime of the year, and the possibilities of using special techniques for controlling the growth of plants. The greenhouse gives him the opportunity of creating the proper conditions for the plants irrespective of the outside weather, and this provides the farmer/gardener with an all-the-year-round means ...
