Belarus: grain production in bunker weight in agricultural organizations is estimated at the level of 7.8 mln tonnes
Belarusian scientists estimate the general grain production in bunker weight in agricultural organizations at the level of 7.8 mln tonnes, according to Konstantin Shashko, leading research scientist of the Research and Implementation Center for agriculture of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Cand. Sc. {Biology}.
To date agrarians harvest grains with high humidity, after drying the general grain harvest in agricultural organizations of Belarus will reach the level of 7.6-7.7 mln tonnes, excluding buckwheat, millet and maize, he said.
While assessing the whole grain production volumes in the current year, the scientist noted that in the current climate conditions, it is not bad. And the quality of grains is better compared to the last year - large, completed.
According to him, high grain yield provided the most significant influence at increasing of grain production volumes compared to last year. In the current year, grain yield exceeds the last year index by almost 5 c/ha - 34.7 c/ha against 29.7 c/ha in 2010. Yield index and quality indicators of winter crops was higher compared to spring crops. Due to shortage of precipitation spring crops sowings perished throughout almost 30-40%, said K.Shashko.
According to him, to date the country has the favorable conditions for sowing of winter crops: the soil is well moistened, received the necessary application of mineral fertilizers.
