Specialists of the State Food and Beverage Service predict a large-scale incidence of winter crops in the event of sunny weather.

The results of laboratory tests in cells of the Chernivtsi, Zaporizhzhya and Kiev regions revealed several pathogens, including: powdery mildew (0.5-1%), Septoria, helminthosporiasis (0.5%), root rot (1%). Winter rapeseed seedlings were affected by oversporosis in an amount of up to 1% of the total number of crops.

With warming and infection of plants with diseases, mass morbidity is possible. The State Food and Consumer Service advises farmers to apply early spring harrowing and fertilizing using the method of root top dressing.

Seeds of ardent cereals and legumes were also infected. This was revealed during phyto-examination. 3-10% of seeds from Lviv, Vinnitsa and Chernivtsi regions are affected by alternariosis, helminthosporiosis, fusariosis, ascochitosis, bacteriosis and mold.
