In most areas of the North-Western, as well as in a number of north-western regions of the Central, eastern and some southern regions of the Volga Federal region, frosts were observed in the air and on the soil surface (up to -3 … -1 °). Agrometeorological conditions for spring sowing were mostly satisfactory for 2-5 days, and in the north-east of the Central, north-west and in most areas of the south-eastern half of the Volga Federal region for 6-8 days, they were complicated due to rains; in these areas field work was suspended. Sowing of spring grain and fodder crops was carried out as well as late spring grain and clean-cultivated crops in the southern regions.

Agrometeorological conditions for spring crops, the growth and development of winter crops were satisfactory, but in some areas unfavorable due to lack of heat, frosts and waterlogging of the soil.

In winter grain crops, stem growth continued in most fields. The condition of winter crops is good and satisfactory.

Early spring grain crops, depending on the timing of sowing, were in the phases of germination and the beginning of leaf formation; in the central black soil regions, tillering began in the fields of early sowing dates for spring barley. Seedlings of sugar beet, sunflower and corn appeared, leaf formation was observed in the fields of early sowing periods.

Soil moisture in these areas was sufficient.
