The Agroseton company (Lviv region) this year reduced the sown area under winter rape by 25%.
This was announced by the chief agronomist of the enterprise Yuri Kulik. According to him, the company spent sowing winter rape on time in August.
The agronomist noted that Agroseton reduced rape crops due to the crop culture (increase in the share of other crops in the crop rotation) and mentioned the economic component: last year the cost of seeds was 13.5 thousand UAH / ton, and this year - 11 thousand UAH / ton.
This year Agroseton decided to rely on spring crops, in particular brewing spring barley, as well as spring wheat.
Earlier it was reported that the company "Agroseton" from the Lviv region plans to supply grown organic products to the Turkish market, as reported by the chief agronomist of the farm Yuri Kulik. Turkish company investors have shown a keen interest in environmentally friendly Ukrainian agricultural products.
Last year, farm experts conducted an experimental cultivation of winter wheat without the use of chemical fertilizers and protective treatment of plants. As a result, the crop yield was obtained in the range of 1.5 tons / ha., While during normal cultivation it is higher.
