The Ministry of Agriculture of the Kyrgyz Republic has emphasized the necessity of planting winter wheat, explaining its advantages.
According to the department, this type of wheat represents a reliable way to optimize labor use, ensures a high level of yield, and provides stable income.
Why should one prefer winter wheat?
Yield and IncomeThe yield of winter wheat can be 20% higher than that of spring wheat, which directly affects income. Quality grain will always be in demand in the market.
Maturation SpeedThe growing season for winter wheat begins earlier, and it matures faster, allowing for either a second harvest or freeing up the field for other crops sooner.
Resistance to Dry ConditionsAutumn is characterized by a greater amount of moisture in the soil compared to spring, which promotes good seed germination and the formation of a strong root system, enabling plants to successfully withstand dry periods.
Benefits from Nutrient AccumulationWinter crops have the opportunity to utilize autumn precipitation and warmth to accumulate necessary nutrients, positively affecting their growth and development. Additionally, the number of weeds is lower in autumn, which simplifies the process of controlling them.
Effective Time Management and Reduced Spring LoadPlanting winter wheat in autumn allows for a reduction in the spring workload for farmers and enables them to timely engage in other important agricultural tasks.
