ABSTRACT
Shandong is a great agricultural province in China, located in the center of Huang-huai-hai plain. As a basic industry of the national economy, agriculture is easily affected by agrometeorological hazards. Although the natural conditions of the plain are favorable to crop growth, agro-meteorological hazards frequently occur and crop yield fluctuates greatly from year to year due to micro-topography and unstable monsoon climate. According to statistical analysis, the agro-meteorological disasters that affect crop production in the Shandong province are mainly caused by drought, waterlogging and hail. Among these agro-meteorological disasters, drought predominated. In the region, the sown area affected by drought accounts for 75% of the total area affected by agro-meteorological hazards, resulting in a serious loss of crop production.
