11 OBSERVED CHANGES IN PHENOLOGY DYNAMICS Region Dates Change (days) Novi Sad Bačka Topola Pančevo Ruma * Sombor * GROWING PROBLEM Shift in appearance of "four tillers detectable" - growing stage of winter wheat in Serbia (Source: PIS Serbia).

12 CC time to change paradigm Adapt to climate change = Face with weather Meet it... Do not wait for it!

13 BEST STRATEGY - TO BE A PART OF SOLUTION Application of advanced meteorological products Numerical weather prediction of different scales: short range, monthly and seasonal forecast Application through Plant & harmful organism phenology models Crop models

14 Source: Republic Hydrometeorological Servic ce of Serbia Forecasting weather NWP products of interest in agrometeorology (AgM), crop modelling (CM) & plant protection (PP) Short-range range weather forecast (out to 5 days) Monthly forecast (out to 30 days) Seasonal forecast (out to 7 months) Climate model simulations (30 years or more)

15 OBJECTIVE Provide backgroung for more efficient use of different NWP products for tactical and/or strategical decision making in agriculture /crop production and plant protection/

16 EXAMPLE OF SOLUTIONS - LOCATIONS

17 ACTIVITY 1 Application of short range weather forecast in agrometeorology and plant protection AgM - forecasting : leaf weatness and temperature canopy air temperature and humidity soil temperature and moisture precipitation... AgM - forecasting application : fruit vegetation dynamic (in progress) meteorological conditions for plant dissease appereance (done)
