NIBULON plans to complete the whole complex of works this week.

"The peculiarity of the current agricultural season is a very short spring with high temperatures. This caused a high rate of work performance. In particular, even at the beginning of the second decade of April, we completed 100% of the second fertilizing of winter crops. Fertilizers were also applied in the area of about 40 thou. hectares while spring crops sowing. Treatment of winter crops with PPPs was carried out," Konstantin Khmelnitsky, Deputy General Director for Agricultural Production, commented.
