| Summary: | The article describes the most frequent unfavorable natural phenomena in the
Republic of Moldova, such as drought, hot dry-winds and strong winds, dust
storms, hail, frost, glaze ice, invasion of sod webworms and others.
Additionally it presents a number of methods for reduction of their damaging
influence on the results of agricultural activity. The article showcases the
devastating effect of webworms on the seeding of agricultural crop yield in
1975 and the coping measures undertaken in those years. In 2003, as a result
of an unusual combination of natural and climate factors, a great damage was
done to the seeding of agricultural crops. Similarly, abnormal heat during
the summer of 2007 caused a disastrously low crop yield on the territory of
the republic. |
