Bensheim farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 25.1 °C, 6 cm 27.4 °C, 18 cm 28.6 °C, 54 cm 22.5 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.05 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.14 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.16 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is below the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 42 mm against only 1 mm of expected rain — a 41 mm deficit, so irrigation will be needed this week. A suitable spraying window opens around 06:00 on 2026-06-21, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Heat stress is likely for wheat with highs reaching 39 °C (threshold 32 °C).
