The pace of planting in the United States and Russia above, than in Ukraine and France

Dry weather in Ukraine delays the sowing of winter crops and long-term rainfall in France and prevent the harvesting of maize. Thanks to the favourable conditions sowing rate in Russia and the United States higher than last year.

 

As of October 24 Ukraine planted winter crops 6.6 million ha or 91% of the planned areas, in particular:

a rape 1,073 million hectares or 99%

barley – 834 thousand ha or 91%,

the rye – 117 thousand hectares, or 96%.

  • wheat – 5.7 million ha, or 91%,

 

In mid-October, winter crops, irrespective of sowing time was in a satisfactory condition and were in the phase of germination and formation of seedlings third leaf, nodal roots and the beginning of tillering. In some places in Ukraine continues sowing of winter crops.

 

due to the fact that almost 40% of the area was planted after the optimum time, plants are significantly behind in the development phase. In plants sown at the optimum time, Gushchina is 250-650 PCs/m. Places in the southern and Central regions of the observed thinning of the winter wheat crop through drought conditions and damage to plants by pests.

 

In Russia were sown with winter crops 17.7 million ha of 101.4% of the plan compared to 17.5 million tonnes on that date in 2018 But the sowing of winter crops is still not finished.

 

Weather in mid October in the Centre and the Volga region contributed to the development of winter plants, which, depending on sowing time are in a phase of germination, the formation of leaves and tillering. In the Urals and Western Siberia in warm weather with adequate rainfall contributed to the growing season of winter crops. In the South, especially in the regions of Kuban, Stavropol and Rostov region because of the moisture deficits observed thinning of crops.

 

In France as a result of prolonged rainfall as of 21 October, winter wheat sown, only 29% of the area, which is the lowest figure since 2011 and significantly below the average figure of 59%. Sowing of winter barley began a week earlier than last year, but now they only planted 50% of the area compared to 61% at that date in 2018.

 

In most parts of North Eastern Europe October was rainy, which hampered sowing of winter crops and harvesting late grains and oilseeds.

 

As of October 20 in US winter wheat planted 77% of the planned areas compared to 75% average over 5 years. Warm and dry weather will speed up sowing and the promise of rain will improve soil moisture, which is slightly lower than last year.
