Evaluation of climate conditions in Remanso/BA and their relations with agricultural production in the Semiarid

Abstract

This paper aims to present the climatic conditions of the municipality of Remanso in the State of Bahia, taking into account the intrinsic relationship between climate change and agricultural production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) in the semiarid region, through data analysis of Standard Precipitation Index - SPI of about 30 years. The results showed that the tomato production system presents good prospects of obtaining positive profitability, considering the climatological indices. However, technical and managerial assistance and agricultural research actions, especially in the areas of fertilization, plant tutoring and irrigation, are necessary to promote improvement in productive efficiency.
