The condition of crops in Germany shows spatially contrasted patterns. Winter wheat and winter barley are currently in the vegetative stages and maize is being planted.The Crop Watch agroclimatic indicators show above average rainfall (+24%), close to the average TEMP (except in the south, where the temp anomaly was -1.1C) and 7% below average RADPAR at the national level. Above average rainfall occurred throughout the country, with the largest positive departure occurring in the west, especially the north-western mixed wheat and sugarbeets zone (+36%). With favourable moisture and temperature biomass is expected to increase by 20% nationwide compared to the five-year average. As shown by the crop condition development graph, national NDVI values were above average form January to early February due to abundant rainfall and suitable temperature, below average from mid-February to late February due to lack of rainfall. National NDVI values started well above average and came close to the five-year maximum from early March to April. This observation is confirmed by the NDVI profiles and the country's spatial NDVI patterns, with least favourable crops in the north. This spatial pattern is also reflected by the maximum VCI in the different areas, with a VCIx of 0.85 for Germany overall. Generally, the values of agronomic indicators mentioned above resulted in favorable condition for most winter crop areas in Germany.
