Moisture supply. Rainfall substantially replenished soil moisture supply, reports UkrAgroConsult.

Crop condition. In general, winter and spring grains and pulses in most areas are rated good and fair. Growth of late crops in Carpathian areas may get adversely affected by excess of soil moisture. Yellowing, slow growth and development of plants are observed in some fields, particularly in relief depressions.
