Rains Bring Optimism for the Upcoming Harvest

During the second ten-day period of May, abundant rainfall was recorded across all production clusters of the Agro-Region Group, bringing cautious optimism about achieving the planned yield targets.

“This year’s weather conditions differ from last year: April was dry, while May is bringing sufficient precipitation. This has improved the condition of the rapeseed crops, which were partially affected by spring temperature fluctuations. Wheat is developing well. The rains have also had a positive impact on the crops sown this spring,” noted Chief Agronomist Yurii Lysak.

According to him, the sowing campaign was completed within optimal and tight timeframes, and most of the crops have already sprouted.

“Air raid alerts have been frequent, and GPS signals are jammed during these periods, which forced us to temporarily halt technological operations. However, even under these circumstances, the production team worked in a well-coordinated manner during the spring fieldwork. At the moment, we are in a critical period for weed control, so all efforts are focused on managing weeds, as well as crop diseases and pests,” he summarized.
