The influence of the main indicators of heat supply on agriculture in the Saratov region

Abstract

An analysis of changes in surface air temperature was carried out at stations in the Saratov region from 2002 to 2022. The study is based on the analysis of materials from longterm hydrometeorological observations carried out through the Roshydromet network, which reflects the reliability of the results obtained. The article presents a comparison of average monthly temperatures for a given period with temperature norms. A map of temperature changes was constructed. The duration of the growing season for plants was calculated and analyzed. With the help of agroclimatic zoning of the country according to D. I. Shashko there was established which zone the Saratov region belongs to and which agricultural crops are best cultivated in the region.
