During most of the winter period, the weather conditions in Ukraine were quite favorable for the overwintering of winter grain crops, as evidenced by the state of crops and hydrothermal indicators. This is reported by APC-Inform with reference to the January survey of specialists of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine. "This year's winter is relatively warm, but it is characterized by the instability of the temperature regime and a significant amount of precipitation. For winter cereals, such weather conditions in the absence of severe frosts do not have a negative effect on plant organisms, although the systematic amplitude fluctuation of air and soil temperatures to some extent reduces their resistance to cold, especially close to critical ones, which are unlikely during the current winter period, but are quite possible , if we take into account the experience of past years," the scientists noted.
