In Belhydromet told about the state of winter crops before winter

About how the state of winter crops before the onset of winter, said the head of the department of agrometeorology service of hydrology and agrometeorology Belhydromet Oleg Klintsevich, writes sb.by.

According to BelTA, this autumn agrometeorological conditions for the development of winter crops in most areas developed quite favorably, said Oleg Klintsevich:

- The main massifs of winter crops were sown in most regions by September 25-30, in Vitebsk and Mogilev regions - by October 5-10 (later optimal terms). The warm weather in October extended the autumn vegetation, contributed to the appearance of seedlings in late crops and the further development of winter crops. Seeds appeared mainly after 6–9 days, in fields with a lack of moisture in the soil and in October crops – 10–12 days after sowing.

He also added that in most of the observed fields, winter crops have unplucked:

- On average, one plant formed 1-3 shoots, according to some weather stations, in areas of earlier sowing period - up to 4-5 shoots. In late October crops, seedlings and the third leaf are observed, nodal roots are formed. The condition of winter crops is good. The winter rapeseed continued to form a leaf socket. According to weather stations, good visual assessments of the condition of crops prevail. Currently, for a more detailed clarification of the state of winter crops, Belhydromet units conduct a route survey.
