Canada: Pulse Crop Conditions in Saskatchewan
★ The condition of pulse crops like chickpeas, lentils, and peas in Saskatchewan varies across different regions.
★ Some areas have experienced heavy rainfall, leading to waterlogging in low-lying fields, while several other regions are severely affected by drought.
★ Approximately 60-70% of pulse crops are reported to be in good condition, whereas 30-40% of the crops in the northwest and southwest regions are in fair to poor condition.
★ Hailstorms have also hit certain areas, impacting crops during the flowering stage.
In regions that received rainfall in late June and early July, farmers are spraying fungicides to prevent fungal diseases.
★ According to Statistics Canada, chickpea, lentil, and dry pea acreage in Saskatchewan is expected to see a modest increase this year.
★ Moderate temperatures and good rainfall in July will be crucial for healthy crop development.
