JRC MARS Bulletin - Crop monitoring in Europe - November 2021 - Vol. 29 No 11
Sowing campaign close to conclusion
According to the November issue of the JRC MARS Bulletin - Crop monitoring in Europe, in most parts of Europe, continued fair autumn weather provided good conditions for farmers to progress with the sowing of winter crops, as well as for emergence and early development of the seedlings. However, rain deficit in central and eastern Europe raises some concern. In most regions, weather conditions have also been favourable for the harvesting of summer crops, and to catch up progress where delays were reported in October.
Rapeseed stands in good condition for entering the winter period.
Rapeseed sowing was concluded within the optimal time window and under generally favourable conditions in the main producing regions; with the exception of Romania, where the sowing campaign was prolonged due to dry conditions. In most regions, adequate temperatures and soil moisture sustained emergence and early development of rapeseed seedlings, and the plants are in good condition for entering the winter period.
Rain deficit in central and eastern Europe raises some concern for winter cereals.
The sowing campaign for winter cereals has been completed on time in most of central and northern Europe, and is currently progressing well in the south. In most of these regions, weather conditions have been favourable for emergence and early development. Dry conditions in Czechia, Slovakia, southern Ukraine and northern Romania, resulted in delays in winter wheat sowing and crop emergence. High rainfall in central and southern Italy and large parts of the Balkan region did not impact the sowing of winter crops, with the exception of Croatia, where a moderate delay in emergence is observed.
