Analysis of Dry Year Frequencies, Using The Script Rsarflm Processor v.3 ", With Climatic Data From The Llanos de Venezuela
Keywords:
Agricultural planning, rainfed agriculture, intertropical convergence zone, VenezuelaAbstract
The main cereal producing region is located in the western, central and eastern plains of Venezuela. These crops are grown in dry land, so their yield depends on the occurrence of rainfall. The plains are affected by recurrent droughts, generating economic losses and increasing the importation of cereals. In order to identify the areas most vulnerable to the occurrence of droughts, a regional frequency analysis was carried out with climatic data from the Anzoátegui, Cojedes, Portuguesa and Guárico states.
