Ten Day Agromet Bulletin 10-10June 2026

In the second dekad of June 2026, the meteorological forecast indicates that light to moderate moisture is expected across the southwestern, western, and northwestern parts of the country, benefiting both Meher-crop-producing and Belg-utilizing areas. This situation expects to improve moisture requirement of Belg and long cycle Meher crops found at different phases of growth, perennial plants, pasture and drinking water availability in pastoral and agro pastoral areas. However, areas receiving relatively higher rainfall may face localized challenges, including waterlogging of croplands, excessive soil moisture, soil erosion, landslides in vulnerable terrain, and increased incidence of weeds, crop pests, and diseases. Conversely, areas expected to receive only light rainfall may experience intermittent dry spells, increased evapotranspiration, and moisture stress that could affect crop growth and agricultural productivity. Therefore, farmers, pastoralists, extension services, and other relevant stakeholders are advised to take advantage of the favourable moisture conditions by undertaking timely planting of long-cycle crops
