Substantial rains after mid-July permitted widespread plantings in the main producing areas. Following first rains in the south and south-east in June, limited rains were received on 1st and 7th July and then on 17-18th July. The growing season really started countrywide following substantial showers of 23-24th and 27-28th July over most producing areas, which permitted widespread planting of coarse grains. Crops are now emerging. They are tillering in Guidimakha.
Pastures have started to grow in many areas. Treatments against grain eating birds in Gorgol and Trarza are finished. No Desert Locusts were reported from mid June to mid July. Isolated solitarious adults were seen at two locations south-west of Aioun El Atrous on 21-22 July. Low numbers of solitarious adults are expected to be present and breeding in a few places of the southern parts of Trarza, Brakna, Assaba and the two Hodhs. Consequently, scattered hoppers may appear and numbers may increase in the summer breeding areas of the south and centre.
