This analysis covers thelate stages of maize (October harvest) and the early vegetative stages ofwinter wheat. The CropWatch environmental indices show below average rainfall(-25 percent compared with the recent five-year average), slightly warmer thanaverage weather, close to normal PAR, but a drop of biomass production at thenational scale larger than 10 percent compared with both the recent five-yearaverage and the last decade. Maximum VCI tends to be high in some areas in thewest and south west, an indication of overall good conditions by localstandards (centered around the south of the Rivne and Odessa oblasts). UntilDecember, average national NDVI profiles where significantly above average(probably reflecting high temperatures); the profiles however dropped sharplyin January. This observation is confirmed by NDVI curves dropping to belowaverage values in January as well, with few exceptions (covering about 5percent of agricultural areas and located around the Poltava and Cherkasyoblasts, and around the Khmelnik oblast). The biomass index indicates overallaverage conditions in the north along the Russian and the Belarus borders.Conditions are mixed in the rest of the country and unfavorable in an arearoughly centered around the Mykolayiv oblast.
