Soil moisture supply in Ukraine is the lowest in 7 seasons
The total amount of precipitation from November to January was only 79.6 mm, significantly below the average multi-year norm of 117 mm, according to the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences (NAAS). This low moisture availability has been observed for the first time in the past 7 years, causing concern among grain producers about the potential negative impact on spring and summer vegetation of winter crops.
Despite this, NAAS experts say there is no significant threat to crops at the end of the winter period. Early activation of vegetation and proper care, given sufficient soil moisture, can ensure a good harvest, with potential yields in the best farms not falling behind last year’s results.
Further development of the grain sector in the Black Sea and Danube region will be discussed at the 23 International Conference BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV on April 24 in Kyiv.
