This analysis covers the growing stage of winter cereals and the sowing stage of coarse grains, including maize from January to April. The crop condition was generally favorable due to average weather (rainfall, +2% above average; TEMP, +2⁰C average - which is significant - and RADPAR, -2%) that resulted in an equally moderate BIOMASS increase over the recent 5 years' average of 4%.  

In contrast, the national NDVI development graph, show rather favourable conditions that exceed the average of the latest five-year maximum, starting in DEcember 2015. The values of VCIx were average or above average in crop planting areas, except for cotton (an irrigated summer crop) growing in Karakalpakstan. NDVI cluster graphs and profiles show a favorable picture in most parts of the country during the whole period, except for 16% of arable cropland distributed in central and south areas (Gulistan, Bukhara, Nawoiy, Kashkadarya, Kagan, Qarshi, Termez). Current condition and prospects are favourable in food producing areas.

2016年1 月至4月，乌兹别克斯坦冬季谷类作物处于生长期，当前正在播种粗粮（包括玉米）。作物长势总体较好。与过去14 年平均水平相比，CropWatch 环境指标显示整个国家降水量小幅增加，增加量为2%；温度偏高2摄氏度，累积光合有效辐射偏低2%。适宜的降水和温度条件，导致潜在生物量高于过去5年平均水平4%。

全国NDVI过程线证实作物长势整体好于过去5年平均水平，从2015年12月以来甚至高于过去5年最佳水平。在作物生长阶段，除棉花种植区卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦外，最佳植被状态指数持平或高于过去5年平均水平。NDVI距平聚类图和聚类类别过程线显示，在整个生长季大部分地区作物长势较好，在中部和南部和东部部分地区（撒马尔罕、吉扎克、古利斯坦、纳曼干和安集延），NDVI植被指数突然下降，长势变差。总体来说，当前作物长势持平或好于平均水平，作物产量有望提高。
