July_2020
(Monthly Agrometeorologicals)
Generally on the month of July 2020, due to the relative strength of rain-bearing
meteorological systems over most of Meher season crop growing and much of Kiremt rain
benefiting areas have experienced good moisture in amount and distribution. This condition
might be favorable to satisfy daily crop water requirements for various early planted Meher
season crops as well as perennial plants. Moreover, this moisture might facilitate land
preparation and sowing of cereals (Teff, wheat, and barley), pulse (beans, peas, and haricot
beans) and oilseeds, further growth of early planted Meher crops and improved water resources, soil moisture reservoirs and the advancement of moisture toward the north-eastern and eastern part of the country could give an opportunity to collect and store rainwater for areas often deal with a moisture stress problem.
