Crop monitoring in Europe - MARS Bulletin Vol. 23 No 10 (2015) - Difficult start for winter crops in Eastern and Northern Europe
Yield forecasts for summer crops at EU-28 level remain low
and are comparable to last month’s forecast. September was
warmer than usual in northern, eastern and south-eastern
Europe and colder than usual in western Europe. October
has generally been colder than usual so far, especially during
the second dekad, when negative minimum temperatures
occurred in many areas of central and eastern Europe. Wetterthan-
usual conditions were recorded in south-eastern Europe,
south-eastern France, central and southern Italy, northern
Germany and several parts of northern Europe. Large areas in
south-eastern Europe faced a period of abundant rains slowing
down the harvesting activities of maize and sunflower and
hampering the sowing of winter crops. Dry conditions have
persisted in Poland, Lithuania, western Ukraine and southern
Russia. In these regions, the winter crops sown in September
germinated under unfavourable conditions which further
worsened due to the low temperatures that occurred in
October. The sowing of winter cereals has progressed without
major problems in the EU’s largest producing states, France,
Germany and the UK.
