Agricultural enterprises of Aurum Group that are located in the Zaporizhia oblast began a sowing campaign, in particular, as of today 100% of the land is under winter crops fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers and 18% of spring crops have already been sawn.
As was reported by Mykola Shyshman, Deputy CEO of Aurum Group for agribusiness.
“The agricultural enterprises of Aurum Group are located in the Zaporizhia and Kharkiv oblasts. In Zaporizhia, we have already begun a sowing campaign, applied nitrogen-containing mineral fertilizers and are sowing spring crops. In the Kharkiv oblast, fertilization has just begun, and the sowing campaign starts at the end of March,” said Mykola Shyshman.
According to M. Shyshman, one of the problems faced by farmers is an ice crust that covered the ground: “In the Kharkiv region, the winter crops have been icebound for about two months, which was formed after the thaw, that caused frost-killing of about 6% of winter crops,” said the head of the agricultural sector of Aurum group.
Shyshman also said that this year the Aurum Group agricultural enterprises plan to use 45% of the acreage for winter wheat and barley; 30% for sunflower; 5% for corn; 11% for spring barley and 9% for mustard and rape.
It is worth reminding that Aurum Group has already modernized the fleet of agricultural machinery to the amount of UAH 16.1 million this year.
