During the monitoring period, few crops were in the field except for winter wheat growing in the northeast and northern part of the region. Rainfall (RAIN, -12%) and radiation (RADPAR, -21%) were below average according to the CropWatch agroclimatic indicators, while temperature was above average (+1°C). Somewhat unfavorable rainfall and radiation and favorable temperature condition brought about a slight increase in the biomass production potential (BIOMSS, +6%). Based on NDVI, crop condition was below average compared to the five-year average. The BIOMSS map shows that almost half of the region suffered a marked decrease of 20% in BIOMSS this period, while an increase of 20% occurred in the north and southeast of the region. NDVI profiles show that the crop condition was predominantly poor in 36.5% of the region's cropped areas, located in the south of Jiangsu, middle of Anhui, and in Hubei province, which was confirmed by the VCIx maps. Prospects for crops in the region are mixed and vary spatially.
