The farms of the Agrain group of companies have completed corn sowing on 70% of the planned area, which will be allocated over 14,000 hectares in the 2025 season, the agricultural holding’s press service reported on Facebook.
“This year, we paid special attention to the selection of hybrids that demonstrate not only high yield potential but also good adaptability to local climatic conditions and increased drought resistance. These are key criteria in conditions of unstable moisture,” the agricultural holding said.
To ensure the effectiveness of the sowing campaign, Agrain farms use high-precision Horsch Maestro 24.70SW and Kinze 3600 seeders with the Precision Planting system. This equipment provides farmers with 100% seed separation, uniform planting depth, and soil moisture retention.
“We sow corn to a depth of 5 cm at a rate of 65-74 thousand seeds per hectare. At the same time, we apply nitrogen fertilizers: 50 kg/ha of urea or 70 kg/ha of UAN,” the agricultural holding summarized.
Agrain is engaged in the cultivation and storage of grain and oilseeds, as well as livestock farming. Before the full-scale Russian invasion, the agricultural holding consisted of 11 agricultural enterprises. It cultivated about 110,000 hectares in the Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Odesa, and Cherkasy regions.
The holding company is owned by SAS Investcompagnie (France).
