On the majority of areas sowed the seeds in moist soil poorly with inadequate to prorastaniya and obtaining seedlings with plenty of moisture. However, in many areas due to strong fog and heavy morning dews in the upper soil layers remained insignificant amounts of moisture.

 

Despite the autumn drought, agricultural technologies could provide a satisfactory condition of winter crops in late autumn. In good or excellent condition was 57% of crops (56% in 2018), in satisfactory – 31% (35% in 2018), weak (in the early phase of seedlings, 3 leaf) was 12% (9% in 2018).

Last week in the Southern plains were favorable for winter wheat, precipitation, although in southwest Kansas and Southeast Colorado water supplies remain inadequate.

 

Precipitation in South America contribute to the planting of soybeans and corn. In Brazil from next week, precipitation will increase, whereas in Argentina, some regions suffer from lack of moisture, although in General the weather favours the sowing for the harvest of wheat, which as of December 4, threshed by 46% of the area (31% a week ago, 44% a year ago and 38% on average for 5 years).
