In the rest of Ukraine these works will start in the first half of April.This forecast was voiced by the head of the agrometeorology department at the Ukrainian hydrometeocenter, Tetiana Adamenko, at a yesterday press conference in Kyiv.
However, in her opinion, the late arrival of spring adjusts the events not the worst way, as active heat could worsen the condition of winter crops. According to her observations, the worst situation with winter crops was reported by Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk regions, where because of a lack of snow cover soil temperature was record low minus 20 degrees. Recent data confirmed a significant loss of winter crops in Kherson region, more than a half in the southern districts of Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. In 2012, farmers, according to various estimates, will have to reseed 33.5 million hectares of winter grain planted on 8.4 million hectares.
