Crop protection from very strog winds: recommedation from a Costa Rican agroforestry case study
Introduction of irrigated agriculture in Guanacaste Region (Costa Rica) during the dry season encounters a major problem in the occurrence of very strong winds. The literature was scanned for possible recommendations with respect to growing crops between rows orstrips of trees under such conditions. Recommendations were formulated in this case study made for WMO with respect to shape and composition, height, length, width, direction, number and permeability of rows or strips of trees and the distance between them an on measurements and observations to be taken in trials with this agroforestry system. Finally, general recommendations are formulated for running such trials with trees, in rows or strips or in wider belts or scattered throughout the landscape, for crop protection from strong winds
