Review of the agrometeorological situation of July 23, 2019

Past rains keep sufficient content of soil moisture in most of Belarus. According to the results of instrumental measurement of moisture content made on July 18, content of productive moisture was sufficient at depth of 1,5 m on most of the fields with potato, root crops, maize and herbs. Because of uneven distribution of precipitations content of productive moisture was low in some areas of the far-west of Brest region. Moisture content was increased in some areas of Vitebsk region. Amount of overmoistened areas increased in the northern part after heavy rains in north-east part of the Republic of Belarus.
In the coming days, agrometeorological conditions will contribute to formation of harvest of roots, cabbage, potato and herbs aftergrowth after mowing in most of the country. Conditions for formation of harvest of heat-loving crops will improve with the temperature increase. However, frequent rains cause emergence and development of diseases, moisten haulm stand of cereal crops and slow harvest works. Grain moisture still remains higher than conditioned that requires its drying on grain elevators.
