P r e f a c e
The Impact Assessment and Applications Section
(IAAS) of Climatology and Agrometeorology Division (CAD) regularly issue this monthly/bulletin which will provide users such as food security managers, economic policy makers, agricultural statisticians and agricultural extension officials with qualitative information on the current and potential effects of climate and weather variability on rainfed crops, particularly rice and corn. This bulletin, entitled “Climate Impact Assessment for Agriculture in the Philippines”, represents a method for converting meteorological data into economic information that can be used as supplement to information from other available sources.
For example, an agricultural statistician or
economist involved in crop production and yield forecast problems can combine the assessment with analysis from area survey results, reports on the occurrence of pests and diseases, farmers’ reports and other data sources.
The impact assessments are based on agroclimatic
indices derived from historical rainfall data recorded for the period 1951 to the present. The indices, expressed in raw values percent of normals and percentile ranks, together with real time meteorological data (monthly rainfall, in percent of normal), percent of normal cumulative rainfall, as well as the occurrence of significant event such as typhoons, floods and droughts are the tools used in the assessment of crop performance. Crop reports from PAGASA field stations are also helpful.
The narrative impact assessment included in the
bulletin depicts the regional performance of upland, 1st lowland and 2nd lowland palay; and dry and wet season corn crops, depending on the period or the season. Tabulated values of normal rainfall and generalized monsoon and yield moisture indices are provided for ready reference. Spatial analysis of rainfall, percent of normal rainfall and the generalized monsoon indices in percentile ranks are also presented on maps to help users visualize any unusual weather occurring during the period. The generalized monsoon indices in particular, are drought indicators; hence, the tables (see Appendices) together with the threshold values can be used in assessing drought impact, if there are any. It also helps assess any probable crop failure.
It is hoped therefore that this bulletin would help provide the decision-makers, planners and economist with timely and reliable early warning/information on climatic impact including the potential for subsistence food shortfalls, thereby enabling them to plan alternate cropping, if possible, food assistance strategies/mitigation measures to reduce the adverse impact of climate and eventually improve disaster preparedness.
Impact assessment for other principal crops such as
sugarcane and coconut, for energy and for water resources management, are from time to time will be included in the forthcoming issues of this bulletin.
The IAAS of CAD will appreciate suggestions/comments from end-users and interested parties for the improvement of this bulletin.
Definition of Terms The Generalized Monsoon Index (GMI) helps determine
the performance of the rains during the season and serves as a good indicator of potential irrigation supplies. It is a tool used to assess rainfed crops.
The GMI for the southwest monsoon (GMIsw) in an area during June to September is defined as follows:
GMIsw = W6P6 + W7P7 + W8P8 + W9P9
The GMI for the northeast monsoon (GMIne) in an area
during October to January is defined as:
GMIne = W10P10 + W11P11 + W12P12 + W1P1
where: W = weight coefficient of monthly rainfall for the season; P = rainfall amount in the ith month
(i = 1 for January, 2 = for February, etc.)
The Yield Moisture Index (YMI) is a simple index that helps the users assess agroclimatic crop conditions during the crop season. The YMI for a particular crop is defined as follows:
n
YMI = [Pi Ki]
i where:
i = crop stage (1 = planting/transplanting, 2 = vegetative, 3 = flowering, 4 = maturity,
etc.) n = total no. of crop stages; P = rainfall during the ith crop stage; and K = appropriate crop coefficient for the ith crop stage.
Tentatively, the threshold values of categories of indices for interpretation being adopted for both YMI and GMI are as follows:
Percentile Rank Interpretation
> 80 Potential for flood damage
41 - 80 Near normal to above- normal crop condition
21 - 40 Moderate drought impact with reduced yield
11 - 20 Drought impact with major yield losses
< 10 Severe drought impact with crop failure and potential food shortages

AGROCLIMATIC / CROP ASSESSMENT FOR FEBRUARY 2020
OVERVIEW
Harvesting of early-planted wet season corn has now started in some areas of the country.
Normal to above normal yield is expected in Surigao del Sur. While below normal yield is
anticipated in Casiguran, Tayabas, Infanta, Alabat, Daet, Catarman, Tacloban, and
Surigao del Norte. Sufficient moisture available during the month favors land preparation
and planting of dry season corn in Camarines Norte, Surigao del Norte and Surigao del
Sur. Due to inadequate rainfall in Infanta, Legaspi, Catanduanes and Catarman, planting
of dry season corn may be hampered. The standing, early-planted wet-season corn are
in good condition in Surigao del Sur. However, the same crops are suffering from moisture
stress in Casiguran, Tayabas, Infanta, Alabat, Daet, Catarman, Tacloban, and Surigao
del Norte.
REGION I (Ilocos Region) Due to the insufficiency of moisture, any farming activity related to planting rice and corn may not be done in any part of the region during the month. CAR (Cordillera Autonomous Region) As of this month, moisture deficiency is still prevalent across the region, that is why, any farming activity related to planting rice and corn are hindered. REGION II (Cagayan Valley) Dry and sunny weather is experienced all over the region. This is favorable for sun-drying and other rice stocking activities of post-harvested late planted lowland 2nd palay. REGION III (Central Luzon) Harvesting of early-planted, wet- season corn had just begun in Aurora province. Yield is expected to be below normal in Casiguran due to the moisture stress experienced by crops during the critical stage of growth. REGION IV-A (CALABARZON) Harvesting of early-planted, wet-season corn had just started over Quezon Province; yield is expected to be below normal since the crops suffered from moisture deficiency during the vegetative stage. The inadequacy of rainfall in Infanta hinders the land preparation and planting of dry season corn during the month.
REGION IV-B (MIMAROPA)
The dry and sunny weather during the month favors sun-drying and other stocking activities of post-harvested late-planted lowland 2nd palay across the region. REGION V (Bicol Region)
Harvesting of early-planted, wet season corn had just begun in Camarines Norte; below normal yield is anticipated due to the insufficiency of moisture during the vegetating stage. For the same reason, planting of corn in Legaspi and Catanduanes may be hampered. Meanwhile, adequate rainfall received in Daet favors land preparation and planting of dry season corn over the area. REGION VI (Western Visayas)
Sun drying and other rice stocking activities for the post-harvested lowland 2nd palay continues. REGION VII (Central Visayas) Dry and sunny weather prevailed in Mactan during the month, allowing for sun-drying and other rice stocking activities of post-harvested, late-planted lowland 2nd palay.
REGION VIII (Eastern Visayas)
Harvesting of early-planted, wet season corn has commenced in Catarman and Tacloban. Below normal yield is expected this season because crops were subjected to moisture stress during the vegetating stage. Likewise, land preparation and planting of dry-season corn may be hampered due to the minimal rainfall in Catarman during the month.

REGION IX (Zamboanga Peninsula)
During the month, insufficient moisture available across the region hinders any farming activity related to planting rice and corn. REGION X (Northern Mindanao)
Farming activities related to planting rice and corn are hindered by the insufficient amount of rainfall received during the month.
REGION XI (Davao Region)
Farming activities related to planting rice and corn are hindered by the insufficient amount of rainfall received during the month.
REGION XII (SOCCSKSARGEN)
Farming activities related to planting rice and corn are hindered by the insufficient amount of rainfall received during the month.
REGION XIII (CARAGA Region)
Harvesting of early-planted wet season corn had just begun across the region. Normal to above normal yield may be expected in Surigao del Sur, while in Surigao del Norte, below normal yield may be anticipated because crops suffered from moisture deficiency during the critical stage of growth and development. On the other hand, the sufficient moisture available during the month favors land preparation and planting of dry season corn across the region. ARMM (Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao) Land preparation of dry season corn is hindered by the minimal amount of rainfall received during the month.
