Grapes are more drought tolerant than corn
The heavy rain that came with the cold front a few days ago only slightly alleviated the problems caused by the drought. In Tokaj-Hegyalja, for example, ten times this amount of precipitation would be needed in order for the grapes to receive the necessary amount of water.
“At least 150-200 millimeters of precipitation is missing from the soil in Tokaj-Hegyalja”
– we learned from Péter Molnár, the chairman of the Tokaj Wine Region Mountain Community Council.
Almost six thousand hectares are cultivated in the wine region. Farmers are in a slightly better position than those who like to make a living from corn or sunflowers. These two plants will hardly yield anything to harvest this year. However, the grapes are just beginning to ripen.
In the case of grapes, it is a woody culture, it can take root very deep in the soil and the plant is also stored in winter from the precipitation at that time – so Péter Molnár.
