Agricultural droughts in the tropics
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 1986Irregular droughts are the main reason for serious yield reductions in tropical agriculture, with sometimes very serious consequences. These “agricultural droughts” are defined and delimited in relation to normal rainfall conditions, to which traditional agricultural production systems are fully adapted. Examples from East Africa and Malaysia, tropical
