CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF AGRICULTURAL DROUGHTS IN 2006
Abstract
Slovene agriculture was again struck by agricultural drought in 2006. It was specific from all points of view. Spatially it affected less than 25% of the area of Slovenia and lasted only slightly less than two months but was very intensive in the areas affected. According to the program for remedying the impact of damage to agriculture after natural disasters, around 21,000 agricultural claimants were affected in 139 municipalities, covering an area close to 170,000 hectares. The article provides a description of the weather conditions that triggered the development of the drought and the disrupted water balance of agricultural plants and an assessment of the level of damage caused.
