Growing conditions improved in July following irregular rains in May and June. Following the first rains in mid March in the extreme south and in mid April in the south-west, precipitation progressed northwards in the Sahelian zone in June. Rainfall was generally irregular and below average in May and June but improved in early July and remained abundant and quite regular in late July. However cumulative rainfall as of late July was generally below average in most meteorological stations due to earlier drier conditions. Millet and sorghum are generally emerging/tillering in the Sudanian zone, while plantings and replantings are still underway in the Sahelian zone.
Pastures are regenerating in the Sudanian zone but remain poor in the Sahelian
zone. Grasshoper infestations are reported on millet and sorghum in Guéra
and Baguirmi regions, while army worms infestations are reported in a few areas
of the Sudanian zone.
