"It is the winter grain sowings on the harvested maize and sugar fields which are being delayed, earlier sowings went very well," one German grains analyst said.

Winter sowings, due to be harvested in two months, were made in good conditions on 48,000 hectares and ongoing spring sowings had been secured financially and were progressing well, he said.

The best way to avoid the disease is for farmers to give fields at least a two-year break between canola sowings.
|
|
Wet autumn weather hindered sowings of winter wheat, traditionally Germany's largest crop, while a cold start to the spring has delayed growth.

|
|
The picture is similar in Poland, where rain also disrupted winter grain sowings and waterlogged fields were being reported, said Wojtek Sabaranski of analysts Sparks Polska.
|
|

|
According to the trader, Russian farmers will reduce their area under pea sowings in spring if the Indian import duty is not removed in the coming months.
|
|
An increase in wheat sowings by farmers followed by a mild winter has put the EU on course for a rebound from last year's drought-hit harvest.
|
|
Analysts expect them to show a decline in winter wheat sowings in the United States, lower grain stocks and smaller U.S. corn and soybean harvests in 2019.
|
|
"Dry weather during the rapeseed planting period meant rapeseed sowings in Germany were probably cut by at least 200,000 hectares to under 1 million hectares," the analyst said.
|
|
However, winter grain sowings in Russia are in a better condition than at the same time last year, an official at the Hydrometcentre weather forecasting service told Reuters.
|
|
In addition, farmers who gamble on back-to-back canola sowings - rather than letting fields recover - may still initially reap good harvests until clubroot spreads enough to substantially lower yields.
|
|

|
|
Sugar beet sowings are set to climb by one-third in Britain, although this partly represents a rebound after a bumper crop in 22016/22017 forced farmers to scale back planting.
|
|
Heavy autumn rain is expected to lead to a fall in wheat sowings in France and Britain, raising early doubts over prospects for next year's harvest in Europe, according to analysts.
|
|
Its vegetable business has proved more profitable in recent years as crop seeds suffered from the financial crisis in Russia and Ukraine and sowings fell in Europe and the United States.
|
|
LONDON (Reuters) - Heavy rains have delayed grain sowings in parts of the European Union with the situation particularly severe in Britain where they could trigger a significant shift to spring planted crops.
|
|
"Corn prices are finding support today from persistent rainfall in the U.S. Midwest that has prevented some corn sowings and is hindering crop development," said Michael Magdovitz, senior agriculture commodities analyst at Rabobank.
|
|
A bright spot is spring barley crop barley, used for malt and beer production, is still expected to increase by 14.2 percent on the year to 2.09 million tonnes after sowings were expanded.
|
|
Sowings have also begun for the next season in the EU's number two grower, Germany, where there could be "double-digit" growth in the planted area, said Guenter Tissen, CEO of industry association WVZ.
|
|
The decline in the category was due to a forecast 6 percent drop in spring wheat sowings, to 16 million acres, while durum plantings are expected to rise 5 percent to 6.1 million acres.
|
|
In western Europe, soggy conditions were also hampering the sowing campaign, including in France, while in the Black Sea dry conditions were raising concern about Ukrainian and Russian sowings as the winter cold arrives.
|
|
Polish winter wheat plantings could fall about 10 percent to around 1.7 million hectares, while winter rapeseed sowings are likely to fall about 10 to 12 percent to 780,000 to 790,000 hectares, Sabaranski estimates.

"Much of the projected growth is associated with expected increases in Europe, where beneficial weather has so far shored up yield prospects while also sowings are forecast to expand, largely driven by attractive prices," FAO said.
|
|

Afterward, the soil is mechanically treated but not turned. The seeds then germinate in September and create a carpet-like layer over the soil, which is very helpful against weeds. The yields are comparable to the ones of autumn sowings.

The kernel apex can take different shapes: smooth, horned, cuspidate, rostrum-like or indented. The eco-agronomic characteristics of Italian traditional varieties match the Mediterranean and semi-continental climate of the country, with mostly spring and some summer (post-wheat) sowings; and early (summer) to late (autumn) maturity.

This is presumably because fixed zvenya were then becoming more widely established. Shorter-lived zvenya would have been more difficult to keep track of. In 1938 there were 542,200 (fixed) zvenya in the USSR as a whole, to which were attached 12.9 million hectares of sowings, including 5.4 million hectares of grain.

The ground prepared that summer, the first sowings in the small nursery took place in 1928. In the fall, the site hosted a workshop for forestry rangers from the Northern Interior.

In 1834 unrest flared up in Vyatsky and Vladimir provinces, but it reached its height among the state peasants in 1840–44. Riots appeared simultaneously and they were partly in response to Pavel Kiselyov's reforms of state villages (1837–41). In the provinces of Ural and the lower Volga Region more than 500,000 peasants rose up destroying sowings of potatoes, and thrashing officials. They arbitrarily re-elected wardens, and attacked punitive detachments with weapons.

In agricultural practice, especially in the largest, richest farms, plow and fertilizers were used. Sowings of agricultural crops expanded, including more valuable ones - wheat, potatoes, buckwheat, industrial and medicinal plants, etc. At this time, there was a certain interest of the "enlightened" nobility in improving the agricultural sector. The founding of the Free Economic Society (1765) contributed to the propaganda of the achievements of agronomic science, although so far on a "focal" scale.
