16.02.2012 15:52 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
This is what Tetiana Adamenko, head of the agrometeorology department, reported. «Based on the results, which recorded the condition of the plants before the cold snap, about 20% have not risen. I think that the cold will add at least 2030%,» she said. Adamenko explained that they had already received the results of samples that were taken in January, before the onset of frosts.
She noted that a more accurate assessment of the state of winter crops after hibernation will be made by the end of March. The expert reminded that this year record low temperatures were registered in some regions at a depth of the tillering node. At the same time, she added that in the western, as well as in most central regions, where there is a complete snow cover, wintering conditions are normal for plants. Earlier, the Agriculture Ministry said that, of the 8.4 million hectares of winter crops sown for the 2012 harvest, Ukraine will have to reseed 23 million hectares in the spring due to adverse weather conditions in autumn-winter period.
