Lower Yangtze region China

Authors: 超级管理员 | Edit: Miao

Crop condition was below the average of the past five years in the Lower Yangtze region. During the monitoring period, the winter wheat harvest was completed in the north of the region including Henan, Jiangsu, and Anhui provinces. Early rice was also harvested, while the semi-late and late rice is still growing in the south and center (including Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei provinces). Accumulated rainfall was significantly above average (RAIN, +60%), but radiation and temperature were below (RADPAR, -7% and TEMP, -0.7°C respectively). Although most of the region suffered from floods, the biomass production potential was above the recent five-year average (BIOMSS, +16%). According to the VCIx map, crop condition was usually fair, while the BIOMSS map shows that biomass was above or close to the average in most of the region. Finally, NDVI profiles show that crop condition was mostly poor in 22.8% of the region’s cropped areas, in south of Jiangsu, middle of Anhui, and north of Zhejiang province. Based on the above analysis, the yield of crops in this region is expected to be below but close to the average.
