Prospects on AgroMeteorological Information for Agricultural Applications

농업기상 정보의 활용 전망

This paper is to introduce distinctive trends in Agrometeorological Information(AgMI) these days, as well as newly emerging technologies from advanced sciences that are promising to enhance production and dissemination of AgMI in the future. The basic concept and important characteristics of AgMI were described either in general or in technical terms. Then AgMI was rather arbitrarily classified here into several groups, simply to show the diversity of AgMI resources available and technologies employed. The production, management, dissemination and communication of AgMI are envisaged to some extent together with the introduction of current status of AgMI production in Korea. Finally a couple of personal prospects on AgMI for agricultural applications are listed in terms of applicable subjects in Agricultural activities, current practicing cases in Korea and future perspectives for sustainable agriculture.
