Knowing the agro-climatic resources is a compulsory condition in order to implement a sustainable agricultural management. The main purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate the agro-climatic resources in relation with the bio-climatic requirements of the main summer cultures, such as maize and sunflower. The analysis will be done for the South-West of Romania, for the year 2015. The year 2015 is considered the warmest year in Romania. The analysis of temperature and precipitation resources will be based on the climatic data from 15 weather stations. The impact of the agro-climatic resourses on the maize and sunflower crops will be analyzed both on the surface and production data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and on the satellite images for the NDVI index. From the analysis, one could that the monthly interval of April-August 2015 was characterized by high temperatures and a scarce precipitation regime. This reflected in the agricultural yields of maize and sunflower, because this range corresponds to the development of the phenological phases of these crop plants.
