Spring wheat sowing in Ukraine may well finish by week's end — Agritel

In Ukraine as in Russia, the agronomic services still do not share data on the progress of the spring works, Agritel informs.

Proof of the precocity of this spring 2020, is the start of the sunflower sowings, what Agritel's partners report from southern Russia, Romania, and for almost a week now in Ukraine.

"No doubt the seedlings will continue to progress at a great speed. Under these conditions, it can be estimated that by the end of the week, more than half of the spring barley in Ukraine will have been sown as well as almost all of the spring wheat," the report reads.

The consultancy adds that all the producers continue to express their concerns regarding the still low water reserves at the start of the season. In the face of this situation, some of them even reconsider, at the last minute, their 2020 rotation.

Earlier it was reported that sunflower sowing campaign started in Odesa region of Ukraine.
