Summary: In the semi-arid tropics high and sustained agricultural production is ham pered by many natural constraints. The SAT farmer must cope with the vagaries of a rainy season that is short and highly unpredictable; intense rainfall interspersed with sudden droughts; soils with low infiltration capacity and thus great water erosion hazard; and, finally, a high evapotranspiration rate during the growing season. In 1973, ICRISAT began its program to develop farming systems that will help increase and stabilize agricultural production through better use of natural, human, and capital resources in the semi-arid tropics. Within this main program, the agroclimatology subprogram deals with the characteriza tion and quantification of weather elements (and climate) in relation to agriculture. Following 5 years of research in this area, ICRISAT sponsored an International Workshop on the Agroclimatological Research Needs of the Semi-Arid Tropics.
