Seasonably dry conditions prevail. Planting will start following the onset of the rains in June/July. Dry plantings are underway in the south-east.
Seed availibility is generally adequate following 1999 good rainfed crop harvest
in most areas. During the first week of May, there was an unconfirmed report
of a few flying Desert Locusts groups in Adrar, east of Oudane. No other locust
activity was reported during the month. Scattered residual populations may persist
in the remaining green patches of vegetation along the wadis in the Bir Moghrein
and El Hank areas. As the vegetation dries out, these populations are expected
to move south towards the summer breeding areas in Tagant and the two Hodhs
where they are expected to mature and lay with the onset of the rains.
