Agrotrade has completed sowing of winter wheat on 15.8 thou hectares in Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Poltava regions, which is 4.5 times more than last year, the company’s press service reports.
According to the report, a quarter of the agroholding’s land bank is planted with winter wheat, which is due to the need to comply with crop rotation.
“This season, we completed winter crops sowing very quickly. We prepared for the work thoroughly – we planned the supply and application of fertilizers in advance and made sure that the required amount of seeds was available in our warehouses. So, apart from the war factor, there were no difficulties. We sowed early, and after the recent rains, we already have the first seedlings, which are in good condition,” said Oleksandr Ovsyanyk, Director of Agrotrade’s Agricultural Department.
As reported, the agroholding fulfilled the overall plan for harvesting winter wheat in the 2023 harvest by 110%.
