There is an increased risk of damage to early flowering species crops due to negative temperatures in Poland

Published 2021년 3월 12일

Tridge summary

Late winter weather events have negatively affected autumn crops and posed a serious threat to fruit crops in many regions of Poland, with minimum temperatures dropping to -6 or -7 °C in some areas, critical for the budding and flowering phases of almonds, apricots, and peaches. The risk of damage to early-flowering stone fruits is expected to increase over the weekend and into the next week. While agrometeorological conditions will be more dynamic by the end of the second decade of March, sub-normal temperatures are forecast to delay crop development. Soil moisture levels are expected to exceed the maximum field moisture content in most field areas for winter cereals, making seasonal tillage and sowing of early and middle-early spring crops challenging and likely to miss agro-technical deadlines for sowing sunflowers in Southern Bulgaria.

The late winter weather events at the end of the first and the beginning of the second decade of March stopped the vegetation processes in the autumn crops in a large part of the Polish regions of the country and put the more advanced fruit crops to a serious test. In places in the Danube plain and in the southern regions (Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Chirpan) are registered minimum temperatures down to minus 6-7 ° С, which are critical for some of the budding and flowering phases - almonds, apricots and peaches, announced Dukena Zholeva, agrometeorologist at the National Institute of Meteorologists and Hydrology (NIMH). During the weekend and at the beginning of next week, negative minimum temperatures and an increased risk of damage to early-flowering stone species are again forecast. By the end of the second decade, the agrometeorological conditions will be more dynamic. After the short-term warming and snowmelt in mid-March in the second half of the period, sub-normal temperatures ...
