Seceta-factor de risc sporit pentru agricultura convențională

In most years, the territory of the Republic of Moldova is affected by drought. The poor harvests of recent years are more than 50% caused by drought, especially in the Southern Zone, where severe and extremely severe droughts prevail. The occurrence and intensification of atmospheric and pedological drought conditions contribute to the precipitation deficit on the background of the high thermal regime, reducing the productivity of agricultural crops. In the MayJuly period in 2023 and 2024, the average hydrothermal coefficient on the territory of the republic was only 0.3-0.4, which corresponds to a very strong drought.
