Winter wheat crop in Ukraine 2016-2017 online

  • Start of the winter wheat sowing (start of wheat planting) - August 25, 2016

  • Start of sowing winter wheat (start of wheat planting) in most regions of Ukraine - 5-15 September 2016

  • End of the winter wheat sowing (end of wheat planting) in most regions of Ukraine - 10 November 2016

  • Entering in the winter of most winter wheat fields in Ukraine - November 17, 2016

Features of winter wheat sowing (planting) season in Ukraine 2016

 

  • Weather during the sowing (planting) of winter wheat in 2016 was unfavorable for germination of wheat plants, precipitation was absent in all areas of cultivation of winter wheat

  • Most winter wheat fields entered to this 2017 winter is not enough growing well - many of the fields in the emergence phase

  • Winter wheat is sown (planting) a lot less than last year

 

 

24 of April 2017 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: most winter wheat fields are in the end of tillering-tubing. The condition of wheat crops is good for most good farmers.

18 of Aprill 2017 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: most wheats field are in the end of tillering-tubing phase. In some regions snow fell (Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye). In other regions - the temperature at night has greatly decreased - to -2-5 ° C. This decrease in temperature and snow, will not significantly affect the yield of winter wheat

 

=========================================================================

 

20 of Febryary 2017 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: in most fields in Ukraine there is no snow cover and most of the winter wheat resumed vegetation after winter. Thus, we can ascertain the fact that winter crops as a whole have wintered well

 

=========================================================================

20 of January 2017 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: despite the extreme cold wether, winter wheat plants in good condition. In most regions, that farmers growing 2017 yield of winter wheat, there is the minimum required snow cover protecting crops. But in some regions of Ukraine, the snow cover is minimum or absent, which can lead to death of winter crops in these regions

=========================================================================

3 of January 2017 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: winter wheat fields in good condition. Since the beginning of winter and up to the present time in Ukraine - not observed such adverse weather conditions that could damage the winter crops, including winter wheat crop. Most winter wheat growing regions, there is a minimum snow cover required that protecting plants

 

=========================================================================

 

15 of December 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: winter wheat condition is normal in Ukraine. Although in some places at few days the temperature less to -14-17 ° C (in Sumy region and some other northern and eastern regions of Ukraine). Now frost did not affect negatively the condition of wheat fields in Ukraine as the snow is present everywhere (in some places it was quite a small amount of snow but enough for wheat living)

=========================================================================

13 of December 2016 the situation of wheat fields in Ukraine: the condition of winter crops at this point in time is normal. The snow cover is small. Monitoring the fields with winter wheat, it confirms the fact that the majority of the winter wheat crop in Ukraine went into the winter in phase of shoots - the beginning of tillering, depending on the level of in-time of farming technologies in agricultural holdings or in farmers and climatic conditions in the sowing period in different regions of Ukraine

=========================================================================

 

10 of December 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: thaw and rains led to the fact that in most of the fields went snow (with the exception of Sumy region of Ukraine, North of Poltava region and some other Northern and Eastern regions of Ukraine). This date is coming of creation of ice crust and the onset of other adverse events affecting the wintering of winter crops. In general the condition of winter crops at a given time normal in Ukraine

 

=========================================================================

8 of December 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: most of the fields are covered with snow. Temperature -5-10 °C and the snow cover allows you to store the wheat crop in a normal state

29 of November  2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: the majority of the winter wheat fields in Ukraine has entered in 2017 winter and grows of plants and plants vegetation has ceased. Ground the frozen in the vast most regions of Ukraine. Condition of winter crops (rape, wheat, rye) is normal. Due to the lack of rains in the sowing (planting) period - most of the fields with winter wheat included in the winter in the early stages of plant development or early phase of plant tillering

Winter wheat come in winter is not full tillered. But this field is good but plants here covering plate of field good and uniform. Date of sowing winter wheat - October 2016 because there was no rain in September (September it is optimal time of planting winer wheat in Ukraine) . Rains went in October (photo ©Dr. Oleksii Orlov, November 29, 2016, Zastavnitsky district of Chernivtsi region, Ukraine)

 

=========================================================================

24 of November 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: Most winter wheat fields have already stopped growing season, and went into the winter. Condition of winter crops is normal. Only in Transcarpathia the vegetation of winter wheat continues in connection with temperature from 0 to + 5 °C

22 of November 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: in most regions of Ukraine winter wheat has already stopped growing season, and went into the winter. The presence of the green color of wheat plants indicating that in the plants are still ongoing physiological processes. The ground everywhere have the frozen and temperature in the daytime from +1 to -5 °C. On November 22, 2016 only in Transcarpathia lasts autumn vegetation of wheat due to the positive temperature (night + 2-3 °C, the day + 12-15 °C)

17 of November 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: in most regions of Ukraine (Central Ukraine, Eastern and Southern Ukraine, Western Ukraine), winter wheat has already stopped growing season, in connection with the establishment of a stable snow cover and cold weather in -1-5 ° C, with the exception of Transcarpathia. In Transcarpathia, winter wheat and winter rye vegetation contributes to the warm rain and daytime temperatures in the + 5-15 ° C. In general, this date can be considered the date of entry into the winter the absolute majority of the winter wheat fields in Ukraine, including winter wheat, located in the southern regions of Ukraine. On 17 november 2016 - the majority of the winter wheat fields in Ukraine went into the winter in a state from germination to the beginning of tillering. Many fields are weak and uneven germination, which was caused by a lack of moisture during the planting (sowing) of winter wheat. But despite this, many farmers who have good understanding of winter wheat cultivation technology in a dry climate, got friendly shoots of winter wheat and plants which went into winter tillered normal, albeit in a non-optimal phase

 

=========================================================================

13 of November2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: in most regions of Ukraine, winter wheat has already stopped growing season. In Ukraine was coming of a stable snow cover and cold weather in -4-5 ° C, with the exception of some areas in Eastern and Southern Ukraine and Transcarpathia. There, with a daytime temperature of up to + 15 ° C, continuing the vegetation of winter crops (winter wheat, winter rye). In most regions of Ukraine all winter wheat fields entered the winter in a weakened state. Most of the winter wheat fields in Ukraine went into the winter in a state of germination - early tillering

 

=========================================================================

25 of October 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: where farming technology is well-respected, even after late harvested traditionally precursors (eg, after maize), wheat normal seedlings were obtained. Of course these fields will be input in the winter in sub-optimal phase

One of the main requirements for winter wheat planting - a uniformity of germination (photo ©Dr. Oleksii Orlov, October 25, 2016, Kozelshchyna district, Poltava region, Ukraine)

 

=========================================================================

24 of October 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: большинство хороших ферм и агрохолдингов уже посеяли озимую пшеницу. На большей части посевов озимой пшеницы, растения находятся на начальных этапах развития или в состоянии всходов. Но есть исключения из правил - кто правильно посеял озимую пшеницу, те имеют нормально развитые растения, которые входят в зиму в оптимальной фазе развития

=========================================================================

7 of September 2016 the situation of wheat in Ukraine: some farmers have already sown winter wheat. But the majority of farmers in phase of "waiting for rain." Those good farmers who do not "wait for the rain," and observe the correct winter wheat growing technology, get good germination and uniform wheat plants
