✦ Synopsis

Classifications of the climate of England and Wales, based on agroclimatic data from L. P. Smith, are described. A principal component analysis was carried out on these data in order to simplify them by removing inessentials. This showed that most variation in the variables was associated with maximum soil moisture deficit in summer and effective transpiration, both important for plant response. Six methods of cluster analysis were then used, two of which, further neighbour and minimum variance, were selected for comparison. The groups into which areas were classified are discussed in terms of the two climatological variables. The resulting classification was compared with others in the literature.

Trickle irrigation has become a well-established method for irrigating high-value crops in regions where water resources are scarce and/or expensive. In England and Wales, the use of trickle has increased fivefold since the 1990s, and now predominates in some specialised high-value crop sectors. Und
