Israel 21c reported that Israeli researchers have discovered that studying micro-climates could help farmers worldwide dramatically increase their yields.  According to new research from Israel, if farmers had access to such precise data, they could better time sowing and harvesting, predict how much water might be needed that year to water the crops, identify parts of a field that may be more cool, humid or prone to dry, hot winds -- and potentially avoid devastating damage by pests, perhaps using less pesticide as a consequence.
