Soil, irrigation, spray-window and crop-stress guidance for Kwilu, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Soil temperatures today read surface 24.4 °C, 6 cm 25.3 °C, 18 cm 27.4 °C, 54 cm 27.6 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.06 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.05 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.11 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is below the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 27 mm against only 0 mm of expected rain — a 26 mm deficit, so irrigation will be needed this week. A suitable spraying window opens around 06:00 on 2026-06-22, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Heat stress is likely for wheat with highs reaching 35 °C (threshold 32 °C). Projected growing degree days over the next week: wheat 164, maize 126.
