The high monthly average temperatures (25 26°C) during the flourishing period and low rainfall level of 223 mm, result in an incomplete maturation of seeds and a decrease in oil content.
But tall fescue falters when humidity is high, rainfall levels are low and the temperature soars above 85 degrees.
The plant can grow at rainfall levels as low as 200 mm per annum.
Mr. Chávez's government blames relatively low rainfall this year for low water levels at Guri and for declining water supplies for Caracas.
