The complete avoidance of all farm losses due to weather factor is not possible but it can be minimized to some extent by making adjustments benefit to the farmers by suggesting them the suitable management practices according to the weather through timely and accurate information of weather forecast. Contingent cropping plans and best management practices are identified on the basis of weather based Agro advisory during Kharif. Season 2016 has been done. Thirty users of Agromet advisory services (AAS) and 30 non users of Agromet advisory services (non-AAS) were selected from two villages of Aurangabad district. Content of weather based AAB studied by using Agro-Advisory Bulletins of years 2016. A questionnaire as suggested by NCMRWF was circulated to farmers. The management practices suggested in advisory were easy to understand and can be easily adopted by the farmers on their farm. The inputs recommended in advisory are helpful to selected villages or nearby villages. The farmers also appreciated the management practices given in advisory like sowing, weed management, insect pest and disease management, fertilizer management, cultural practices, harvesting and storage.
