Agrometeorology for Precision Agriculture and Resource Optimization

Banasmita Barman & Chayanika Nath

Abstract:

Agrometeorology, the interdisciplinary field linking meteorological science and agriculture, is essential for advancing precision agriculture a management strategy that integrates digital technologies for site-specific field management. Harnessing agrometeorological insights allows for optimized use of water, fertilizers, pesticides, and other agronomic inputs, ultimately increasing resource efficiency and environmental sustainability. Agrometeorology enhances precision agriculture by guiding the strategic implementation of advanced practices such as weather-informed irrigation scheduling, targeted nutrient application, and data-driven pest and disease management. Integrating high-resolution meteorological data and digital farming technologies empowers farms to improve productivity and operational efficiency, while simultaneously building resilience to climate variability and resource constraints.
