Kariega farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 12.5 °C, 6 cm 15 °C, 18 cm 16.1 °C, 54 cm 14.8 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.22 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.23 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.27 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Forecast rain (10 mm) roughly covers crop water demand (ET0 12 mm), so irrigation can likely be paused. A suitable spraying window opens around 11:00 on 2026-06-21, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Projected growing degree days over the next week: wheat 87, maize 48.
