The office regularly checks the situation of the ear crop and seed propagation (Photo: Pixabay) The planned national sowing area of winter wheat was 960,000 hectares, but only 933,000 hectares of this was realized and only 846,000 hectares were harvested. The situation was similar in the case of autumn triticale, only about 67 thousand hectares of the 75 thousand hectares sown were harvested. In the case of the other winter ear crops, there were no such problems, the winter barley sowing area has been increasing for the third year now, approaching 313,000 hectares in 2022, and the rye sowing area also increased slightly, reaching 32,000 hectares. The area sown for spring barley and oats decreased or stagnated, both being 21,000 hectares in 2022. As a result of the months-long drought and heat wave, the ripening accelerated, so that the harvest could practically start two weeks earlier than usual. The national yield averages were 0.5-1.5 t/ha below the average of previous years, ...
