Georgia/EE.UU: clima daña a arándanos, duraznos, avena y otros cultivos
According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service in Georgia, there were 5.1 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Sunday, April 2, 2023. Precipitation ranged from 0.3 inches to 3.9 inches of rain. Average high temperatures ranged from the low 70s to the low 80s. Average low temperatures ranged from the low 40s to the mid 50s.
Crops
Corn fields across the state were being planted and beginning to emerge. Some farmers in central and southeast Georgia were delayed in planting corn due to cool and wet conditions last week. Tobacco planting was also noted to be progressing slowly due to the wet conditions. Peaches and blueberries were blooming, although both were negatively impacted by freezing temperatures in mid-March. Early varieties of peaches are expected to have a significant loss. Peaches that survived the freezes were reported to be in good condition now.
Wheat, oat, and rye began to head out and were treated with fungicide applications during the week. Powdery mildew and cereal leaf beetle were noted as issues in eastern Georgia wheat. Vidalia onions were nearing maturity as producers were applying fungicides to prevent diseases.
Livestock and Pastures
Cattle were in relatively good condition while pastures were in good to fair condition throughout the state. Cattle producers continued to feed hay and supplements. Freezing temperatures in March were detrimental to much of the winter grazing, but now are beginning to recover.
