The beginning of November 2018 was marked for Ukrainians with relatively warm and humid weather. Such conditions contributed to the favorable autumn vegetation of winter crops.

“The rooting and initial development of winter crops in our fields went well,” professional agronomists say. “The daytime bright sun and low temperatures in the dark hardened crops, which is extremely useful for a successful wintering.”

According to the Ukrhydromettsentra, in the southern regions of Ukraine this fall there was too little rainfall. As a result, this created a shortage of moisture supply in Odessa, Kherson and Nikolaev regions. This could prevent winter crops from developing in the southern fields of the country, but plentiful fogs and dew, which generously fell on Odessa and Nikolaev lands in November, saved the situation.

By mid-November, winter crops began to cluster and acquired nodal roots. In some parts of the country, crops only managed to show the first seedlings. In the eastern regions of Ukraine, as a result of low temperatures at night and in the daytime, as well as after precipitation in the form of snow, winter ones suspended the period of autumn vegetation. According to experts, soon the same fate awaits winter on all fields of the country. The exception will be land located in the very south of Ukraine.
