At present harvesting at “Snigurivs’ka”, “Bashtans’ka” and RE “Lidiyivs’ke” branches is completed. According to test threshing, RE “Lidiyivs’ke” branch with 56,4 dt/ha of harvest demonstrated the highest result. High results are demonstrated by “Snigurivs’ka” and “Bashtans’ka” branches, 45,4 and 44,1 dt/ha respectively.
On the whole, NIBULON’s branches performed threshing on the area of 78 % of winter barley crops. The branches harvested more than 10 thousand tons of winter barley from this area.
The above mentioned company’s branches also complete harvesting of spring barley. The highest yield of spring barley demonstrated “Snigurivs’ka” branch (49,3 dt/ha). The yield of RE “Lidiyivs’ke” and “Bashtans’ka” branches comprises 44,2 and 41,5 dt/ha respectively. The branches have already completed harvesting on the area of 72 %. In general, NIBULON’s branches have cropped over 3,5 thousand tons of spring barley.
The harvesting tempos exceed last year’s ones because of recent weather improvement.
On completion of barley harvesting, there will be 3–5 days break. Under good weather conditions the company’s branches will start harvesting winter wheat crop.
Previous samplings of wheat from southern branches allow us to expect high quality yield that corresponds to II-III classes.
32 grain harvester combines are involved into harvesting process in Mykolayiv region.
Overall, 23 thousand ha of winter wheat, about 3 thousand ha of winter barley, and 1 thousand ha of spring barley are intended for harvesting this season. Despite the unfavorable conditions of winter rape overwintering, the area of its harvesting will comprise 1,5 thousand ha.
It should be noted that this season volumes of early grain crop production are lower than average results of previous years. It is connected with insufficient precipitation in autumn and reducing sowing areas of winter crops. On the whole, we’ll achieve stable volumes by increasing sowing areas of spring crops.
