MARS: lack of winter hardness in grain - Dewinterizing risk is high.
The Agrarmeteorologische Institute at the Commission (MARS) determines the level of the training of hardiness in the cereals in Europe in its latest monthly report. Check the measurements to what extent the starch in plant cells into glucose converted have been. The lowered freezing point of water cellbecomes, so freezing temperatures can not blow up the plant cells. The implementation process is however only gradually with falling temperatures.
The measurements in the regions provide very different results. In the Western of Europe from Great Britain through Belgium, France, Netherlands, Spain, until after Italy are still no signs of winter hardiness to recognize Portugal. The recent temperatures were relatively high in this room.
A similar statement is valid in North-Western Germany . In the German upland and continue in the East of the Br D. only slight winter hardness can be observed. A not to exclude sudden frosts could lead to considerable Dewinterizing damage.
Poland, the Baltic States, Belarus adjacent part of Russia and the Ukraine almost complete winter hardness in the cereal crops.
For the southern part of Russia and the Ukraine the autumn drought with weak cereal stocks issue increasingly in the foreground.
The South-Eastern of Europe would be but still significantly compromised, where the winter cereals are rather rare.
The weather maps show no understanding winter weather with low freezing temperatures for the next 14 days. However, the period is still to be seen until the risk is banned until early March.
