Dry weather is favorable for harvesting, but worsens the prerequisites for the sowing of winter crops

In principal countries-grain producers of the Northern hemisphere continues to dominate dry weather with temperatures above normal and the precipitation deficit, and in Ukraine soil drought, might reduce the sowing areas of winter crops.

In the major regions of the United States in the next 7-10 days will remain warm weather with almost no precipitation, which will contribute to the ripening and the acceleration of harvesting corn and soybeans and planting winter wheat.

On the Southern plains of the North is in good conditions, but recent rains have replenished soil moisture reserves and dry and warm weather next week will contribute to the production of winter wheat seedlings.

as a Result of hurricane Sally in the South-Eastern United States fell 200-500 mm of rain and Carolina flooding have passed.

In Canada this week there was a slight frost, which did not damage the crops. Next week dry weather will facilitate the collection of spring wheat and canola.

in Brazil, the Predicted precipitation will reduce the concern about the delay of sowing of soybeans as a result of prolonged drought.

in the next week in Central Brazil, particularly the state of Mato Grosso, will be heavy rains. Observations confirm that over the past 30 years, the average date of the beginning of the rainy season in Brazil is September 26.

In Argentina, the deficit of precipitation has a negative impact on the development of wheat crops and reduces the amount of soil moisture before sowing soybeans and corn.

In Australia warm weather with moderate rainfall contributes to the formation of a good crop of wheat.

In Russia, dry weather accelerated the pace of sowing winter wheat. However, the amount of precipitation the last two months at 50% below the norm reinforces the concern about the stairs. In the Central regions in the next 7 days will be moderate rainfall, while in the South rainfall will be almost no.

In Ukraine the optimal terms of sowing of winter crops in most regions have 11-25 September, however, prolonged drought exacerbates the situation. The average temperature from July to September 2-3. 5 °C higher than normal, whereas rainfall in the Western regions accounted for 20-50% of normal, and in Central, southern and Eastern regions during this period there was almost no effective rainfall.

As of September 17, 60-70% is intended for sowing of arable layer of soil completely or almost dry, so sitting on such spaces is impractical to conduct.

Until the end of November, significant soil moisture will not occur. Slight rain 18-19 and 26 September will moisten only the top layer of soil in the Western, Northern and North-Eastern regions.
