Abstract

Agriculturists and climatologists from 18 countries joined ICRISAT scientists for wide-ranging discussions the past two weeks on how agroclimatology can be put to better use in improving the production of sorghum and millet. The planning meeting and international symposium on "The Agrometeorology sorghum and Millet in the Semi-Arid Tropics" were sponsored by ICRISAT and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and agency of the United Nations. Co-sponsors were the Food and Agricultural Organization of the UN(FAO), INTSORMIL, a program of international research on sorghum and millet sponsored by the U.S. Government, and Texas A&M University, USA.
