Introduction: another heavy rain hit Argentina April 2, Kansas City (World Meteorological company): it is reported that another heavy rain hit Argentina's corn production area at the end of March The heavy rain, like the one in mid March, delayed corn ripening and harvesting It's a little dry now, but there may be another heavy rain in the coming weekend At the same time, the late season Maize in some areas of South America continued to face the pressure of slightly lower soil moisture [Argentina] corn grows normally in most parts of the country This week's torrential rain stopped all harvesting of early crops and slowed the rate of plant maturity These rains have not affected the quality of grain, but more rain is expected this weekend and early next week, which will make some of the fields quite muddy and wet Most corn is in the stage of filling and ripening Harvesting of early season crops has begun in some areas, but a lot of harvesting will begin in the coming weeks Dry and warm weather is needed to ensure the best conditions for ripening and harvesting corn and sorghum [Brazil] early season corn in most parts of the country is maturing and harvesting The weather conditions of the past few weeks have been favorable for most of the corn's growth due to the popular dry weather in the northern region following the continued rainfall in mid March Drier weather hardens the topsoil to speed up harvesting The growth conditions of late season maize have been kept good At present, there is drought in the central area of South Central China, which causes a little pressure on the local crop growth The driest areas are South Mato Grosso, Parana and parts of Sao Paulo, where rainfall has recently been relatively sparse and soil moisture has decreased Soil moisture in most other areas is still suitable for the growth of second season crops If there is timely rainfall to improve the soil moisture, the next few weeks will start the second season corn planting and production [South Africa] the late season drought has continued to spread throughout the country April is usually the first month of the country's dry season, but the expansion of this year's rainy season has provided favorable support for the growth and grouting of late season crops The drought is moving forward normally and has reduced the yield potential of the last crops Most of the corn in South Africa is expected to grow well this year, but the yield potential of late maturing corn is expected to decline significantly Corn has been planted in the south of China Good weather conditions make the field work in the North begin ahead of time It is reported that in the past few days, from the north of China to the south of the Yellow River Basin, the temperature has been between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit, which is conducive to the increase of soil temperature and field work In the remaining days of the week, there will be rainfall in the recent warm areas, which will reduce the temperature in the area, but it will help to improve the soil moisture of early season crops, which will help the crops to speak and grow April is the most active month in East Central China, and corn planting in Northeast China will take place in May Due to the normal rainfall this year, the output is expected to be much higher than the previous two years [Indonesia and Philippines] Indonesia's corn is maturing and harvesting is continuing, but harvesting in the Philippines may slow down Dry weather in the past two weeks could speed up harvesting in other corn producing areas Dry weather has put pressure on other crops in the Philippines, but it's good for corn The planting of new corn will begin at the end of this month and continue until June Indonesia's corn harvest usually lasts until May, and there will be no exception this year Harvest usually starts in March and will peak in March if weather conditions permit There will be less seasonal rainfall this month, which will help speed up crop ripening and harvesting [India] at present, winter sorghum is being harvested and will last for May Due to the timely rainfall during the growing period, most crops have a good harvest With the arrival of summer monsoon at the end of May and June, the planting of sorghum and corn will begin [Europe] Spain and Portugal have started corn cultivation, and field work has been carried out as early as the early spring Precipitation in the coming weeks will help the crops grow Corn cultivation in southern France, Italy and the Balkans will begin this month and continue into May Soil moisture is slightly lower in southern Italy and southern France, but it will improve with rainfall in the coming weeks [US] corn cultivation has been completed 50% in Georgia and nearly 50% in South Carolina Field work in the Gulf States did not advance, but during the interval of rainfall, field work advanced The drought will affect corn and sorghum in southern Texas There will be rain in southern Texas in the next few weeks, but it will not be enough to keep the soil moisture at normal levels Drought is not a problem in the delta Parts of the land, from Arkansas to Tennessee, are still raining, with the largest rainfall in those areas last month Field work is behind schedule, not only in Delta, but also in the lower Ohio Valley At present, long-term high temperature and dry weather are needed to harden the soil surface and accelerate the field operation, but such weather is unlikely to occur in the next few weeks There will be warm weather in a few weeks, and it is expected that the density and frequency of rainfall will decrease, but this improvement will not be enough for farmers to carry out field work Pre - and early planting operations have begun more smoothly in southern Texas, Oklahoma and southern Kansas Recent rainfall in Oklahoma and northern Texas has improved the outlook for corn cultivation and early season growth Warm weather is expected in most parts of the United States in the coming weeks The rise of temperature will accelerate the formation of drying conditions in the central and western regions The rainfall will interrupt the field operation, especially at the end of this week and the beginning of next week, which is the largest amount of field operation [Mexico] the winter corn in northwest Mexico is being harvested, and the early season sorghum in Northeast China has been planted The drought in Northeast China will be alleviated soon to benefit the growth of dry land crops The planting of main season sorghum will begin at the end of this month and before the rainy season in May [Australia] sorghum harvesting was interrupted this week, with moderate to heavy rain from New South Wales to Southeast Queensland The rain did not damage the crops that were not harvested, but in some areas it was too strong, resulting in local floods The drier weather will reappear and last until the end of this week Harvesting operations may soon resume Note: (1 inch = 25.4mm; Fahrenheit = Celsius × 1.8 + 32)
