In Ukraine, the lack of rainfall is causing concern, however, the high temperatures extend the time of tillering and improve the condition of the crops were behind in development. In good or excellent condition are 47.3% of crops, in satisfactory – 36,8%, in satisfactory – 16%, whereas on this date in 2018 was 47,9% and 38.1% and 14% respectively.

Belarus unusually warm for this time of year winter keeps plants at the stage of vegetation and does not allow them to move into a phase of physiological rest. The soil remained thawed with zero or positive temperature at the location of the tillering node of winter grain and root collar of perennial grasses, which reduces the hardening of the plants. Expected at the end of the week, lowering the temperature will not damage the crops.
