So, LLC Agrofirma "Dzhalil" of Sarmanovsky district began feeding winter crops. Ammonium nitrate is applied on a field of winter wheat of 285 hectares.
According to the manager of the complex Ravil Akhmetov and the chief agronomist Ildus Aitov, out of 2.8 thousand hectares of winter crops an additional dressing was carried out on an area of 1.1 thousand hectares. Today, fertilizers have been applied to the remaining areas at the rate of one centner (in physical weight) per hectare. During the period of tillering, additional fertilizing will be carried out.
Units of the society "Agrosila - Logistics" named "Bars" are working on the fields. The productivity of one unit is about 200 hectares per day.
“The day before yesterday it was impossible to go to the field, but as the soil ripens, it will be possible to start closing the moisture in 7-10 days. This work is to be carried out on 10.0 thousand hectares, ”Ildus Aitov said.
According to the head of the production and marketing department of the USHiP of the Sarmanovskiy district Ilnur Salikhov, winter crops will have to be fed over an area of 18.0 thousand hectares, 17.3 thousand hectares of which are winter wheat, 0.7 thousand hectares are winter rye.

Today on the fields of the district there are 3 units operating on a pneumatic passage, its number will be increased to 5 units.
Traditionally, aviation will also be involved in top dressing. As of today, Krasny Vostok Agro has concluded an agreement on rendering services for 7 AN-2 aircraft. In general, they plan to attract up to 15 boards. Ak Bars HC also uses aviation services, this year they plan to attract 3 aircrafts of the AN-2.
For reference:
In Tatarstan agriculture top dressing of winter crops is important for its normal and rapid growth. The melt waters take a lot of nutrients under the fertile layer washing out the soil. Proper feeding in early spring guarantees a good harvest and the preservation of the fertile qualities of the upper layer of soil. This is an important condition for successful agricultural production.
