В края на ноември нестабилното и влажно време ще ограничи извършването на сезонните обработки на почвата и фитосанитарните дейности при трайните насаждения

During the past period, in many areas of Eastern and in some places in Western Bulgaria, precipitation between 20-50 l/m2 was recorded, which increased the soil moisture reserves in the 50 cm layer in Silistra, Dobrich, Shumen, Razgrad, Elhovo, Varna, Burgas, Ahtopol, Karnobat, Novo selo, Vidin, Lom, Sofia and Dragoman.

At the end of November, widespread precipitation and an increase in moisture reserves in the deeper soil layers are expected. The values of the average daily temperatures are forecast to be around and below the biological minimum required for the development of winter cereal crops and winter rapeseed. In Western Bulgaria and in the Danube Plain the precipitation will be in the form of snow and a snow cover will form, which will protect the latest sown crops from the forecast negative temperatures, in places down to minus 7-8°C. Only along the Black Sea coast and in the southernmost regions will conditions be created for the occurrence of delayed vegetation in autumn-sown crops. During the period, in winter cereal crops the following growth stages will be observed: emergence and leaf formation (1-2-3 leaves). In some places in the Danube Plain – the agrometeorological stations Silistra and Novachene – the earlier sown wheat crops entered the third leaf stage in mid-November.

The unstable and humid weather during the period will limit the possibilities for carrying out seasonal soil tillage and phytosanitary activities in perennial crops.
