Duringthis monitoring period, about half of the wheat (48.5%) and barley (45.3%) inRussia have been harvested. RAIN was down 12%, while TEMP was up 0.1°C, and RADPARup 3%, compared with the thirteen-year average. In most parts, crop conditionwas favorable (VCIx=0.87). Winter and spring wheat conditions arestill generally favorable. The fraction of cropped arable land in this periodincreased as much as 4.1% compared to the five-year average. Most spring crop areaswere cropped during this period. The NDVI patterns show that in about 67% ofthe area in southern Russia, the NDVI profile is close to normal in April andMay and above average in June and July. In other parts of southern Russia(about 21%, including Rostov Oblast, Voronezh Oblast, and Belgorod Oblast), theNDVI profile is significantly above average in April and May, before falling inJune and July. In these areas, the potential biomass accumulation is significantly higher than the five-year average(20%). In the southeast of Russia (including Orenburg Oblast, Samara Oblast,and Saratov Oblast), the potential biomass is lower than average due to thecold and dry weather. As shown in the crop condition development graph, cropcondition is close to average from April to July. Therefore, average to goodyields can be expected for the spring crop in Russia.
