Agrometeorological conditions in the first decade of November were favorable for the growth and development of winter crops. This was emphasized by experts from the Ukrhydrometeorological Center in their decadal report, writes APK-Inform.
As noted, moderately warm, humid weather, fog and drizzle, and light precipitation on most days had a positive impact on the crops, but due to the slow accumulation of effective temperatures, active development was not observed. However, according to observations by agrometeorologists, winter crops sown in September and early October reached the mass tillering phase.
"Crops sown in the first half of October were in the phases of leaf formation and nodal root formation. On late sowings in the second half of October, seedling formation continued. These crops may be the most vulnerable to adverse overwintering conditions if they occur," the report stated.
