Wintering of winter crops in Ukraine was generally good
The condition of winter grain crops in Ukraine at the end of the calendar winter is relatively good and satisfactory. This conclusion was reached by the experts of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine in their monthly review.
At the same time, up to 5-8% of plants were killed in some fields (not necessarily due to direct frost), which is common even under more favorable weather conditions.
“If winter crops resume active vegetation earlier than usual, and the subsequent hydrothermal regime meets their needs, there are good reasons to make preliminary forecasts for the expected yield, which will be close to the average long-term indicators,” the report says.
The scientists also stated that today a significant limiting factor for the growth of plant productivity is insufficient precipitation during most of the winter period, and therefore relatively low reserves of agronomically valuable moisture in the soil, which in dry weather can lead to undesirable consequences in the future.
For almost 30 years of expertise in the agri markets, UkrAgroConsult has accumulated an extensive database, which became the basis of the platform AgriSupp.
It is a multi-functional online platform with market intelligence for grains and oilseeds that enables to get access to daily operational information on the Black Sea & Danube markets, analytical reports, historical data.
