AGRICULTURE

The 2021 agricultural year was a rainy year. During the vegetative rest period (Autumn – Winter) precipitation values ​​were higher than the average of the last 22 years, with temperatures remaining mild. These precipitation values ​​led to the fact that, at the beginning of the vegetative cycle (Spring), practically all the soils had their water reserves completely reestablished. The budburst occurred earlier, and the higher temperatures observed during the spring accelerated the vegetative development until flowering. In summer, milder temperatures contributed to a regular development of the vegetative cycle, allowing maturation to take place in a regular and balanced manner.
