•AgroMet Field Units (AMFU) in all classified agro-climatic zones.
•Units are opened in State Agricultural Universities and ICAR
Institutes.
•Strong Linkage with AICRP-AgMet of ICAR
•Weather Forecast in quantitative term
s for 4 days with
outlook for a week
•AMFUs translate Wx forecasts into Advisories
•Im
proved Advisory Dissemination & Farm

Mechanism
•Units run Crop Weather Models and include output in the day
today advisories.
•Though IMD/NCMRWF services w
ere useful but dem
and of
the
farm
ing community could not be
fully met due
to
following gaps:
–Non-availability of District specific weather forecast
–Non-availability of Extended Range Weather Forecast
–Non-availability of real-time crop inform
ation.
–Lack of objectivity in Advisories
–Lack of strong outreach/extension m
echanism.

PHILOSOPHY OF INTEGRATED AAS
•AAS has to be essentially a m
ulti-institutional program.
•As the basic core is weather and climate, IM
D has to play pivotal
role. Integrate AAS at IM
D in a collaborative manner.
•Around m
eteorological nucleus, synthesize the orbits of agro-m
et
data base along with decision support system
to translate w
eather
forecast into advisory----SAUs, ICAR Institutions & others
•The final orbit comprises of Inform
ation dissemination agencies.
These include; K
VK, DAO, ATMA, NGOs etc
•Mass m
edia dissemination agencies (Radio, TV, print media) And
Village level dissemination agencies (DIT
) need to play active role.
