Description :
This paper presents an agroclimatic rating scheme that is based on the frequency of extreme weather conditions. The rating scheme is designed so that it easily can be decomposed into its component parts and integrated with edaphic and topographic information. The usefulness of computerized geographic information systems in the development and display of agroclimatic rating schemes is demonstrated.
