Plant growing

Diseases and pests atypical for other seasons were not observed. The weather was rainy this year, so diseases such as hard smut, horns (wheat and barley) and blister smut (corn) affected crops.

This is stated in the article "Risk Zone-2021 or Quality Indicators of New Harvest Grains" on Latifundist.com.

These are fungal diseases that manifest themselves on plants in the form of colonization of spores of different types of fungi due to unfavorable conditions for the growth and development of plants, as well as due to non-observance of agronomic aspects.

“Grain contaminated with these types of diseases is dangerous for animals and humans! Therefore, their presence is limited by the norms of DSTU, and according to the contractual conditions, they are often not allowed at all, "the experts of the Prometey Group of Companies note.

Also, the most common diseases that were recorded in the fields of Ukraine include powdery mildew, septoria and rust.

As for pests, this year, as never before, there were very few seeds damaged by a shell bug. And the corn (stem) butterfly caused great harm to the crops of corn in 2021.

“There is an opinion that many agricultural companies were unable to close the export program due to the poor quality of wheat. However, Prometheus did not notice such a trend, since all obligations under export contracts were fulfilled in full. In addition, the quality of the wheat harvest in 2021 is quite good, ”the experts emphasized.

Also, significant damage to grain crops in the 2021 agricultural season was caused by the winter scoop and the ground beetle.
