Dekadal Agrometeorologicals

During the third decade of September semidry moisture condition has persisted in most part of northeastern part of the country and this moisture condition caused shortage of water for late sowed and flowering stage crops to fulfill water requirement satisfaction. Moreover area which does not have additional water resource and with soil that has less water holding capacity faced more shortage of moisture. Additionally this semidry moisture condition has negative impact on agro-pastoral and pastoral areas of northern and northeastern part of the country in getting drinking water and green plants. However the continued moisture condition in northwestern and western part of the country has positive impact for late growing crops and perennial plants. While it has negative impact on matured crops and post harvesting stage short and long cycle crops. In the same way the observed and analyzed meteorological data indicate that, highly dry moisture condition prevailed for past few months over southern Oromia and southeastern agro-pastoral and pastoral was improved. This moisture condition improved the drought condition over the area and availability of drinking water and rangeland.
