The early start of top dressing allows you to rationally distribute the load on the units and working personnel: 31 regions of Tatarstan have already begun spring field work
The weather for the next two weeks is supposed to be comfortable for fertilizing “on the shard” (on frozen soil).
To date, according to current data from the Ministry of Agriculture, spring-field work has been started by farmers of Aktanyshsky, Chistopolsky, Aznakaevsky, Buinsky, Vysokogorsky, Muslyumovsky, Alekseevsky, Arsky, Tetyushsky, Apastovsky, Laishevsky, Menzelinsky, Sarmanovsky, Yutavinsky, Aksubinsky, Aksubinsky, Aksubinsky, Aksubinsky, Aksubinsky, Aksubinsky, Aksub Drozhzhanovsky, Zainsky, Zelenodolsky, Kaybitsky, Kama-Ustinsky, Leninogorsk, Mamadyshsky, Nizhnekamsk, Novosheshminsky, Nurlatsky, Pestrechinsky, Rybno-Slobo Skog and Tukayevsky areas.
“Districts ask if it is too early to apply fertilizers. According to the recommendations of scientists, early feeding is an economically feasible agricultural method, especially in areas where winter crops are weakened. Therefore, work must begin first in these areas. Today's early start of top dressing lets rationally distribute the load on the units and working personnel of farms, ”Marat Zyabbarov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan, Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan noted at a meeting at the Government House.
The head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan added that today there are many experts who predict what the harvest will be and, in this regard, brought statistics of the beginning of field work over the past 30 years. For these 30 years, the most fruitful were 1997 and 2008 years. At the same time, in 1997 sowing started late, in the third decade of April (04.24.1997, gross harvest - 6.2 million tons), in 2008 - earlier than the average annual, in the first decade of the same month (04.04.2008 - 6, 3 million tons).
That is, the result depends not only on the start of work, but also on the weather during the growing season, as well as on compliance with all elements of the technology. This is also a very important component of the crop. In this regard, currently in the districts there is a public presentation of the agricultural enterprises and farms work plans with the participation of responsible persons assigned to the districts.
On Monday, acceptance of the entire range of machines involved in field work began.
Today, winter crops in the republic are fed on an area of 42.8 thousand ha, perennial crops - 14.7 thousand ha. In total this year, winter crops will be fed on an area of 486.7 thousand ha, perennial grasses - on 484.1 thousand ha.
Active work on seed incrustation continues on the fields of the republic. Zainsky, Kaybitsky, Nurlatsky, Sarmanovsky, Tetyushsky, Yutazinsky, Nizhnekamsky and Tukaevsky districts have already begun this type of work. To date, work has been carried out of 5.7 thousand tons.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan reminds that in Tatarstan, agricultural producers can receive budget funds 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 was set to accumulate over 70 kg of active substance per hectare. Therefore, areas with low rates need to be activated. 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.
