Climatic changes impacts on maize, sugar beet, soybeans and sunflower yields in Croatia

In the 5-y period from 2008 to 2012 mean harvested areas (ha year-1) of field crops in Croatia were 302 266 (maize), 49 908 (soybean), 31 197 (sunflower) and 22 825 (sugar beet). Mean yield (t ha-1) in the above mentioned period in Croatia was 6.6(maize), 2.5 (soybean), 2.8 (sunflower) and 51.2 (sugar beet) with ranges of variation among the years from 4.3 to 8.0 for maize, from 1.8 to 3.0 for soybean, from 2.3 to 3.1 for sunflower and for sugar beet from 39.1 to 57.7. The lowest annual yields of maize, soybean and sugar beet were found in 2012 because of drought and high temperature stresses in summer, especially in August. However, the lowest annual yield of sunflower was achieved under extremely wet conditions in 2010.
