Weather is one of the most important factors determining the success or failure of agricultural production. It affects every phase of the growth and development of crops. Extreme weather events like heavy rains, hailstorm, heat waves, cold waves, drought, etc cause considerable loss in crop production every year. Because of the above, Agromet Advisory Services (AAS) are being rendered by India Meteorological Department (IMD), Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) under Gramin Krishi Mausam Sewa (GKMS). In this scheme weather information-based, crops/Vegetable/Horticulture/livestock management strategies and operations are dedicated to enhance crop production and food security. To understand the response of the farmers about weather-based advisories disseminated through SMS, mobile phones/Whatsapp group, personal contact and newspaper a survey was dealinged by the Agromet Field Unit (AMFU) by the C.S. Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur Nagar Uttar Pradesh. A sample size of 600 respondents was selected by employing a proportionate random sampling method. Among the farmers surveyed, the majority of the farmers fully adopted harvesting practices (86.5 %) followed by pest, disease management, and irrigation management practices. Nearly half of the farmers followed nursery management, selection of varieties, and post-harvest management practices. Farmers had a medium level of information processing (47.5 %), storage (60.5 %), and sharing (53.8 %) dealing.
