It is reported by press center of the company.

This autumn weather conditions and integration of IT-solutions into field operations provided more efficient and short harvesting campaign. At the same time, summer drought affected the crops’ potential yield. As a result, corn yield amounted to 8,7 t/ha, expected sugar beet yield – 43,7 t/ha. Compared to last year, sugar content in beets increased from 16,9% to 18,2%.

Vadym Skrypnyk, Acting head of the Agriculture Division of «Astarta», commented: «The harvesting campaign has been completed, but other field works are still running such as: preparing soil for 2020 spring sowing campaign, applying fertilizers for winter crops. We also continue thorough analysis of seeds vis-à-vis expected yields, and next year we will select only those varieties and hybrids that have shown the highest performance and resistance to the weather challenges».
