It is planned to use only elite seeds, the introduction of mineral fertilizers over 100 kg per hectare of crops.
The company carefully analyzed the omissions of 2020 and made decisions to eliminate them: the lack of equipment, row-crop seeders and sprayers will be resolved through the purchase of 2 tractors, 10 combine harvesters, an 18-meter row-crop seeder and an 11-cc trailed sprayer. Also 2 mortar knots will be installed this week.
Ildus Gabdrakhmanov recommended sowing 10% of the grain wedge with stubble crops, and when using green manure to improve the soil, move away from mustard and use a cocktail set.
