Despite dry conditions, NDVI values are above average in Kansas ①, with curves showing a very strong vegetation recovery ②. However, the water balance could eventually start to weigh on crop development. To be monitored!
01
USA - Are vegetation indices satisfactory at this stage in Kansas?
Yes
02
Brazil - Does the water balance remain satisfactory in the Safrinha corn belt?
Yes
Soil moisture levels, which have been high in the Safrinha corn belt over the past 10 days ①, are expected to remain at levels favorable for crop growth ②.
03
Brazil - Is the Safrinha corn cycle progressing normally in Mato Grosso?
Yes
Vegetation indices in Mato Grosso remain heterogeneous ①, but on average show NDVI curves indicating satisfactory corn growth ②. The scenario of a delay in the corn cycle cannot be entirely ruled out. To be monitored!
04
Brazil - Does the Safrinha cycle appear to be delayed in Goiás?
Yes
Vegetation indices are significantly below average in western Goiás ①, with NDVI curves indicating a substantial delay in the corn cycle ②.
05
Brazil - Is crop vigor collapsing at the end of the Safra cycle due to dry conditions in the South?
No
Despite dry conditions, vegetation indices in Rio Grande do Sul ① do not indicate a significant deterioration at the end of the soybean and Safra corn cycle ②.
06
Argentina - Are rainfall events expected in the corn and soybean areas?
Yes
Precipitation over the next 10 days is expected to be above average across a large part of the country according to ECMWF ① and GFS ②.
07
Argentina - Do vegetation indices indicate an extension of the corn cycle?
Yes
Vegetation indices have improved across the country ①, with NDVI curves indicating a lengthening of the cycle and more favorable conditions for late crops ②.
08
Europe - Do vegetation indices in France indicate rapid crop growth at the end of winter?
Yes
Vegetation indices are high across a large part of Europe ①, particularly in France where NDVI values highlight a rapid resumption of crop growth in recent days ②.
09
Russia + Ukraine - Does the mild trend continue across the winter wheat area?
Yes
The recent mild trend across winter wheat areas in Ukraine and Russia ① is expected to continue in the coming days ②, which will be favorable for the resumption of late-winter crop growth.
10
India - Has the hot and dry trend at the end of the wheat cycle reduced yield potential?
Yes
Vegetation indices are now well below average in the core wheat production areas ①, with NDVI curves indicating an acceleration of senescence, which is unfavorable for yield potential ②.
