Ukraine. Persisting drought in the southern and southeastern regions may adversely affect corn and sunflower

Crop condition:

• Warm weather and sufficient soil moisture in the northern regions were favorable for yield formation in late-sown industrial crops;
• Plant growth in the eastern, southern and central regions was inhibited by insufficient soil moisture and high air temperatures.

Moisture supply:

• No rain occurred on most days between August 1-10 that was an unfavorable factor for moisture accumulation and tillage before planting winter crops;
• Soil moisture in the south has been fully exhausted that is leading to critical conditions for tillage before planting winter crops;
• Weather conditions in the western regions are favorable for planting winter crops.

Weather forecast for August 10-16:

• Hot weather +25 … + 34°С;
• The highest precipitation rates (20-30 mm) were seen in the western and partially central regions;
• Minor precipitation (5-15 mm) occurred in the northern, central and eastern regions;
• Persisting drought in the southern and southeastern regions may adversely affect corn and sunflower development and aggravate conditions for tillage before planting winter crops.
