This reporting period covers the sowing and growing stages of maize, and the growth and harvest of wheat. Among the CropWatch agro-climatic indicators, RAIN (-20%) and TEMP (-1.0°C) were below average, while RADPAR (+2%) was slightly above average. The combination of the factors resulted in a below-average BIOMSS (-11%) compared to the 15YA. As we can see from the time series of rainfall profile, the precipitation was above the 15-year average only in early April, middle June, early July and late July, whereas the temperature was higher than the 15YA from early to middle June and from middle to late July only. The nationwide crop conditions were below average throughout the monitoring period. The spatial NDVI clustering profile shows that only 15.8% of the cropped areas (marked in red) enjoyed near average crop conditions during the whole monitoring period. Blue marked regions (14.4% of the cropped areas), mainly distributed in central Issyk-Kul and northern Chuy, suffered from a decline in crop condition at the beginning of the monitoring period (especially in mid-May, when the negative NDVI departure reached 0.2) and recovered to near average at the end of the monitoring period, the reason of which might be the extreme low temperature in early May. Light green marked regions (28.9% of the cropped areas) experienced a slight decline from early April to middle May and then recovered to near average, mainly distributed in northern Issyk-Kul and central Chuy. The remaining cropped areas all had near average crop conditions at the beginning and then dropped to below average at the end of the monitoring period. The spatial pattern of maximum Vegetation Condition Index (VCIx) was in accord with the spatial distribution of the NDVI profiles. Crop Area Land Fraction (CALF) decreased by 4%, and the nationwide VCIx average was 0.76. National Crop Production Index (CPI) was 0.87, indicating poor crop conditions in Kyrgyzstan. Below-average wheat yields should be expected due to the precipitation deficit. Maize harvest will start in September.
