Training on the Introduction of New Techniques to Improve Crop Forecasting Systems in Armenia
Resumen |
The two weeks training was jointly organized by Armstatehydromet Service and FAO. The objective of the workshop was to present new techniques and tools for crop forecasting, carry out a first trial on crop forecasting (winter wheat) using the new system and provide recommendations for improving Agromet Bulletin. The training was conducted by two FAO International Consultants, Bernard Tychon (Professor, Liege University and responsible for the development of the Agrometeorological Bulletin in Belgium) and his assistant, Antoine Denis. The workshop was successful in teaching the crop yield forecasting tools to participants. At the end of the two week training they were able to use the models and to perform crop yield forecast independently. The Crop Forecasting Working Group was created. The team of meteorologist and agronomist experts will be responsible for the implementation of the new Agromet Bulletin. |
