Over most days of the next 7-day period, agrometeorological conditions will be determined by unstable weather and temperatures close to and above climatic norms, according to the latest forecast by agrometeorologist Dukena Jolev from the National Institute of Metrology and Hydrology (NIMH). The expected rainfall during the last week of October will further delay the sowing of autumn grain crops. Drought and subsequent above-average rainfall at the beginning of autumn hindered the implementation of pre-sowing treatments. Due to these objective reasons, in northern Bulgaria, except for some northeastern regions, the agrotechnical deadlines for sowing wheat have been missed. At the end of October, the agrotechnical deadline for sowing autumn grain crops expires in southern Bulgaria, and at the moment, a small part of the planned areas has been sown.
