State support measures for agricultural producers for the purchase of mineral fertilizers are extended until May 1.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan reminds that to receive these funds, it is necessary to prove documentarily the accumulation of a crop of at least 30 kg AI / ha. This support measure was prolongated until the 1 of May.
Subsidies are target, i.e. they can later be used only for the purchase of fertilizers. The choice of the type of fertilizer and the suppliers remains to agricultural entities.
This year, the task has been set to accumulate over 70 kg of active substance per hectare. Therefore, areas with low rates need to be active . This support is available only until March 30.
In the republic for the 27th of March were purchased over 111 thousand tons substance of mineral fertilizers (38.8 kg of active substance per hectare). The dynamics for the week was 4%.
According to the latest data, Zainsky district is one of the best, its farms have accumulated mineral fertilizers 74.6kg dv. per hectare of crops (106.6% of the forecast). Tetyushsky district places second with 68.2 kg d. per hectare of crops (97.4%) Atninsky district is at 65.5ha (93.6) and Nurlatsky district is 62.4kg d.v. per hectare (89.1%). Good performance is also in Sabinsky, Sarmanovsky, Tukaevsky, Baltasinsky, Buinsky, Kukmorsky, Muslyumovsky and Arsky areas. The remaining areas need to work harder.Particular attention should be paid to the Agryzsky, Cheremshansk and Apastovo districts with the lowest accumulation rates.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan reminds that mineral fertilizers are the basis for obtaining high yields and replenishing the removal of mineral elements from the soil. Fertilizers not only increase the yield, but also improve its quality: the content of sugars, fats and proteins, as well as biologically active substances increases. So, in areas where the work on the accumulation of mineral fertilizers is carried out in insufficient quantities, it is necessary to pay more attention to it.
