Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – February 06, 2021 – Agriculture
More than 130 thousand hectares of winter grain crops and 8.1 thousand hectares of winter rape were sown in the region. This was reported in the Department of agro-industrial development of the regional state administration.
After the end of the long soil drought, in late September-early October, soil moisture improved significantly. This promotes the germination of grain, – said on the website of the Department.
According to the Cherkasy Regional Center of Hydrometeorology, winter crops in the region are better than in 2019 (surveyed 26 fields with a total area of 1762 hectares in 7 farms).
The further condition of crops of winter grain crops depends on the temperature mode, existence, and size of a snow cover. They will also constantly monitor crops in places with probable manifestations of adverse events – these are the areas of the south and northeast of Cherkasy region.
