Ukraine: The condition of sunflower and corn crops in some places in the South is close to critical

Tridge summary

Ukraine is experiencing hot weather during July, which has negatively affected the development and formation of generative organs of spring crops. The lack of productive moisture in the soil and high air temperatures have caused premature drying of sunflower plants in many areas of the Odesa region. However, early corn crops in the Dnipropetrovsk region have effectively used thermal, water, and nutrient resources and are expected to have an advantage in forming the grain yield level. Despite the hot weather, the condition of the crops is mostly satisfactory, but many corn crops are showing signs of drought and yellowing and drying of leaves.

During the third decade of July, hot weather continued to prevail in Ukraine, only in the last few days the air temperature decreased somewhat. Hot weather without beneficial precipitation had a negative impact on the development and formation of generative organs of spring crops, especially mustard, buckwheat, millet, sorghum, corn, soybeans, reports ProAgro Group with reference to an analytical report on agrometeorological conditions and the state of crops. According to the information of the Institute of Climate-Oriented Agriculture of the National Academy of Sciences, sunflowers are in the "seeding" phase in most areas of the Odesa region, and in some places in the southwestern regions, the seeds have reached biological maturity, which is much earlier than usual. The diameter of the baskets in the southwestern regions is 15-19 cm, in the central and northern regions - 7-12 cm. The reserves of productive moisture of the meter-long soil layer in most areas were unsatisfactory ...
