Condition of winter and spring crops in Ukraine is mostly good

During the second decade of May, as in most days of the month, cool weather prevailed in Ukraine with average daily temperatures 3-7 °C below normal, local frosts (mainly in the western regions) and daytime temperatures, which by long-term averages corresponded to early April. Only in the western part of the country, the temperature regime was close to normal.

This is reported by ProAgro Group with reference to the agrometeorological bulletin of the Ukrhydrometeocenter.

Distribution of precipitation over the territory was uneven and somewhat atypical: in the western and northern regions, the total amount of precipitation for the decade was much less than the norm, while in most southern and central regions, it was mostly close to or above the norm.

In winter rye, barley and wheat, stem growth continued and earing began. In some areas of Kherson oblast, the ear of winter wheat began to blossom. The condition of the crops is generally good. Some areas of Odesa oblast reported drying of winter barley leaves, while in Vinnytsia, Kherson and Poltava oblasts, the wheat crop was affected by diseases.
