Argentina Rainfall Beneficial For Late-Season Growth

Kansas City, March 26 (World Weather Inc.) – Several areas in Argentina received much-needed rain during the past week, most notably in the north where drought was prevalent earlier this month. The rain was beneficial for the coarse grains, oilseeds, cotton, and other crops that were still developing. Additional rain through the middle of next week will maintain a good environment for late-season growth in much of the country. Despite the additional rain, there are concerns production may be lower than previously expected in some of the northern production areas due to the dryness and heat earlier in the season. The periods of rain in the coming days may otherwise slow harvesting of the early-planted crops.

China’s Crop Region In Growing Need Of Rain

Kansas City, March 26 (World Weather Inc.) – Precipitation was limited for a large section of China’s main agricultural production areas during the past week leading to some net drying for most areas. The Yangtze River Basin still had enough moisture to support new winter rapeseed growth while the North China Plain became a little more notably dry. Moisture shortages are also ongoing in southern China, where early rice and corn are being planted while sugarcane development increases. Additional drying over the next week to ten days north of the Yangtze River will further deplete soil moisture and could lead to greater crop stress later in April if rain does not evolve soon. Areas near and south of the Yangtze River will see a good mix of rain and sunshine through the middle of next week that will help ease some of the dryness, although Yunnan and bordering areas will remain dry.
