Cotton Yield Forecasting for the Southeastern United States

Book Description
ABSTRACT: Cotton is the most important fiber crops in the United States, accounting for approximately 20% of the total production in the world and more than $25 billion in products and services annually. The Southeastern United States holds a major share of total cotton production of the country. While evidence clearly shows an increase in cotton planted over the time, climate variability is a major concern that could adversely affect its production in the southeastern United States. An effective way to reduce agricultural vulnerability to climate variability is through the implementation of adaptation strategies such as crop yield forecasts to mitigate negative consequences or take advantage of favorable conditions. The use of climate forecasts and climate indices to forecast cotton yield using the CROPGRO-Cotton model and principal component regression model, respectively, were assessed in this study. Using the crop model, in-season updating of the cotton yield forecast with real weather data along with the climatology significantly improved the accuracy of the forecast. With principal component regression models, cotton yield forecasts with significant skills were obtained with a lead time of approximately two months before cotton planting. Results indicated good potential for forecasting cotton yield for the southeastern United States.

Agroclimatology
Author: Jerry L. Hatfield
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0891183574
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
Can we unlock resilience to climate stress by better understanding linkages between the environment and biological systems? Agroclimatology allows us to explore how different processes determine plant response to climate and how climate drives the distribution of crops and their productivity. Editors Jerry L. Hatfield, Mannava V.K. Sivakumar, and John H. Prueger have taken a comprehensive view of agroclimatology to assist and challenge researchers in this important area of study. Major themes include: principles of energy exchange and climatology, understanding climate change and agriculture, linkages of specific biological systems to climatology, the context of pests and diseases, methods of agroclimatology, and the application of agroclimatic principles to problem-solving in agriculture.

El Nino, La Nina, and the Southern Oscillation
Author: S. George Philander
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0080570984
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
El Nino and the Southern Oscillation is by far the most striking phenomenon caused by the interplay of ocean and atmosphere. It can be explained neither in strictly oceanographic nor strictly meteorological terms. This volume provides a brief history of the subject, summarizes the oceanographic and meteorological observations and theories, and discusses the recent advances in computer modeling studies of the phenomenon. Includes a comprehensive and up-to-date research survey Discusses in detail sophisticated computer models Provides a clear exposition of the major problems which prevent more accurate predictions of El Nino
