Ka arotakehia e te Maine Center for Agricultural Meteorology ngā raraunga huarere kua whakauruhia mō ngā whakataunga whakahaere ahuwhenua – Maine Center for Food and Agriculture

I ngā tau tata nei, kua tino whai hua ngā kaiwhakatipu pūriri i Maine i ngā aromatawai huarere hei whakamōhio i ngā whakataunga whakahaere pepeke nui. Heoi, ko te utu nui o te whakahaere i ngā teihana huarere ā-rohe hei whakarato raraunga whakauru mō ēnei whakatau tata, kāore pea e pumau.
Mai i te tau 1997, kua whakamahia e te umanga aporo o Maine ngā uara huarere motuhake ki te pāmu i runga i te whakaurunga i waenga i ngā inenga mai i ngā teihana huarere e whakahaerehia ana e ngā tohunga tata. Ka tukuna ngā raraunga mā te hiko i roto i te ahua o ngā tirohanga ia hāora me ngā matapae 10-rā. Ka hurihia ēnei raraunga hei taunakitanga a te kaihanga e wātea ana ki te marea mā te Ipurangi mā te whakamahi i tētahi pūnaha rorohiko aunoa. E whakaatu ana ngā whakatau tata kāore i te mana he tino tika ngā whakatau tata mō ngā pua aporo me ētahi atu huihuinga e kitea ngāwari ana. Engari me whakarite tātou kia ōrite ngā whakatau tata i runga i ngā raraunga huarere kua whakauruhia ki ngā mea i whiwhi mai i ngā tirohanga teihana i reira.
Ka whakamahia e tēnei kaupapa ngā puna raraunga e rua mai i ngā wāhi tekau o Maine hei whakatairite i ngā whakatau tata tauira o ngā mate nui o te pūriri me te āporo. Ka āwhina te kaupapa ki te whakatau mēnā ka taea te whakaiti i te utu o te tiki raraunga huarere mō te pūriri, me te whakamātautau i te tika o tētahi pūnaha tohutohu mō te māra āporo e whakamahia ana.
Mā te tuhi i te whai huatanga o ngā raraunga huarere kua whakaurua ka whakaratohia te pūtake mō te whakawhanake i tētahi whatunga tautoko huarere ahuwhenua e tino hiahiatia ana, e pumau ana ki te taha ōhanga, i Maine.
