“…These seasonal predictions usually provide information on the probability of the starting and ending dates of the rainy season, the length of the season, the number of rainy days, the annual cumulative rainfall, the average and maximum duration of dry spells during the rainy season (Traore et al, 2014;Goddard et al, 2010). Various studies showed that climate information are integrated in farmers' decisions especially in the United States (Carberry et al, 2002), Mexico (Adams et al, 2003), Argentina (Podesta et al, 2002), Lesotho (Ziervogel, Bithell, & Washington, 2005), Australia (Hammer et al, 2001), Data were collected using a structured questionnaire referring to farmers' socio-economic characteristics and planted crop (Table 1). The data collection was also related to farmers' endogenous seasonal forecasts, their perception of climate information and WTP it.…”

“…The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) index has played an important role in predicting crop yields in many regions of the world (e.g. Podestá et al 2002). However, seasonal ENSO effects do ABSTRACT: Outputs from the Florida State University/Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (FSU/COAPS) regional spectral model were linked to the CERES-Maize dynamic crop model, and the sources of uncertainty in yield prediction at 3 sites in the southeastern USA were examined.…”

“…Essas previsões, embora ainda de média confiabilidade na Região Sul do Brasil, podem auxiliar no planejamento da agricultura, especialmente no que se refere ao calendário agrícola e ao manejo do solo e da água, com o fim de minimizar os impactos negativos da variabilidade climática e, também, para tirar proveito de situações climáticas favoráveis. No caso do milho, na região pampeana da Argentina, que apresenta o mesmo sinal do ENOS do Sul do Brasil, modelos de simulação possibilitaram retornos econômicos para os produtores rurais, com o uso de alternativas de datas de semeadura, aplicação de nitrogênio, densidade de plantas e híbridos em relação às fases do ENOS (Podestá et al, 2002). Entretanto, para se tirar maior proveito de previsões climáticas, como as baseadas no ENOS, é necessário avançar na quantificação da vulnerabilidade da produção agrícola à variabilidade climática, como a provocada pelo ENOS.…”
