Active work on seed incrustation continues on the fields of the republic. Zainsky, Kaybitsky, Nurlatsky, Sarmanovsky, Tetyushsky and Yutazinsky districts have already begun this work.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan reminds that in Tatarstan, agricultural producers can receive state support for the purchase of mineral fertilizers for the 2020 crop. This money will be received by farms that accumulate at least 35 kg of the active substance of mineral fertilizers per hectare of sown area.
This year, the task is to accumulate over 70 kg of active substance per hectare. Mineral fertilizers are the basis for obtaining high crop yields and replenishing the removal of mineral elements from the soil. Fertilizers not only increase productivity, but also improve its quality: the content of sugars, fats and proteins, as well as biologically active substances, increases.
