Association of Agrometeorologists had its web site hosted by M/s Metos Instruments India Pvt. Ltd New Delhi since 2003 (Agrimetassociation.com) for which Association expresses its gratitude to Dr. Goel for providing this service free of cost. Members of Association expressed that Association should have its independent website so that it can be made dynamic as per our need and to keep members aware of the updated information on their research papers. Hence, new domain name www.agrimetassociation.org was registered to fill this gap as we intend to provide as much information as possible through this site. We hope that the site will serve a useful purpose in this regard. We shall welcome any constructive suggestion for improvement of the site.
We wish to have contact details of all its members on this website. Members are requested to send their contact details to Association by email at info@agrimetassociation.org.
