Ukraine's winter crops and rapeseed crops are under threat due to abnormally warm weather in early 2023, leading to weak plant vegetation and reduced hardening of the crops. This has resulted in various diseases and issues such as powdery mildew, septoria, helminthosporiasis, root rot, and poor nutrition for grain beetle larvae. The extent of these issues varies, with up to 17% of plants affected by peronosporosis, alternariosis, and phomosis in some regions. Additionally, snow mold affects 2-3% of rapeseed plants in thickened crops in certain areas.
