Tridge summary

A recent report by MARS experts for the period May 1 to June 12, 2023, highlights contrasting weather conditions across the EU that have negatively impacted the yield potential of several crops. The report points to drought in the north-west, north, and north-center of Europe, leading to increased soil moisture deficit, and excessive rainfall in four countries, causing field flooding and increased risk of pest infestation. As a result, MARS has revised down its yield predictions for several crops, including soft wheat, durum, winter and spring barley, and rapeseed, while maintaining the corn yield projection and slightly increasing the soybean yield.

MARS experts have published a new June report. According to the document, the contrasting weather in the territory of the EU countries from May 1 to June 12, 2023 worsened the yield potential of a number of agricultural crops, KazakhZerno.kz writes. Due to the drought that has descended on the north-west, north, north-center of Europe, the moisture deficit in the soil layer has increased. Therefore, the previous yield of winter and spring agricultural crops is out of the question. In excess of precipitation fell in 4 countries - in Slovenia, Hungary, Italy and Croatia. Because of them, the fields are swamped, the risk of pest infestation has increased. Sev was delayed in a number of regions of Romania and Bulgaria along the river. Danube due to cool weather. Taking into account the above, MARS predicts the following: the yield of soft wheat will decrease by 1% from the previous estimate to 5.92 tons per hectare, durum - by 2% to 3.4 tons per hectare, winter barley - by 2% to 5.91 ...
