Abstract: This paper reviewed development history of agrometeorology in China. Modern agrometeorology experience three development stages, which is the initial stage in the 1950s-1960s, restoration and development stage in the 1970s-1980s, stage of rapid growth since the 1990s respectively. The main research results of modern agrometeorology is discussed based on crops utilization of resources, resources and delimitation of agricultural climate, agrometeorology disasters, forecast of crop yield and remote sensing estimation as well as climate change influence on agriculture and ecology. The future important field and development orientation of agrometeorology were put forward, which is the research on agrometeorological disasters prevention and reduction under climate change, high efficient utilization study of climate resources, key technique about country foodstuff safety, modern observation technique of agrometeorology, crop ecological system simulation and quantificational assessment, establishing and characteristic agriculture as well as environment control of modern biology technique, basis research of agrometeorology etc. considering future climate arising problems, the needing of agrometeorological producing and sustainable development, the weak aspects in research and operation of agrometeorology, in order to provides reference for agrometeorological researchers.
