Dekadal Agrometeorologicals

during the coming second dekad of March the moisture conditions are expected to enhance from day to day over Belg season crop growing and rain benefiting areas. In particular, the north-eastern, eastern, southern and south-eastern parts of the country are likely to get light to heavy amount of rainfall. Such moisture is expected to be favourable to perform land preparation and sowing of various Belg season crops as well as fulfilling the water need of previously planted crops and perennial plants. Thus, farmers, particularly these delayed in planting are advised to make their own plan so as to use this opportunity. Moreover the expected expanded moisture over south and south-eastern parts of the country ensuring the availability of pasture and drinking water for pastoral and agro pastoral communities. In addition, the forecast also indicates that some places across the country are expected to experience heavy rainfall. The expected improvement in moisture may also give good opportunity for collecting and storing of excessive rain water particularly for moisture stress areas and this may provide them a good chance to utilize it at a time of consecutive dry days.
