At the end of August and the beginning of September, conditions will be determined by mean daily temperatures above the climatic norms, under which the final stages of development of late field crops will take place. In late maize hybrids, a transition from milk to wax maturity will be observed.

During the first half of the period, a change in agrometeorological conditions is expected in the eastern regions. Precipitation and an improvement of soil moisture in the upper layers are forecast, as well as better conditions for conducting pre-sowing soil tillage in the fields intended for sowing winter oilseed rape. In the remaining part of the country’s field areas, the conditions will allow the clearing of areas from the mature stands of sunflower and maize.

The forecasted showers will favor the development of pathogens in perennial crops – late brown rot in fruit species and grey mould on grapes.

How to achieve higher potential and a successful start when sowing cereal crops?

The period is suitable for seed treatment of wheat and barley. Of great importance for reducing a number of seed-borne diseases in winter cereal crops is the high-quality treatment of seeds against Fusarium root rot, common and loose smut in wheat, stripe disease and net blotch in barley, and others.
