Prodimex farms in the Kursk region have completed sugar beet sowing
June 11
Sugar beet sowing has been completed on Prodimex Group farms in the Kursk region. The company’s specialists in the region reported that on small areas a soil crust formed after heavy rains with strong gusty winds, and farmers had to re-sow the crop.
Cold weather with abundant precipitation and frequent temperature crossings of 0 °C also prevented timely sowing of early spring crops. Because of the weather, the farms began the 2026 sowing campaign up to 20 days late. Despite missing the agrotechnical deadlines, the Group’s agricultural enterprises in the region managed to complete sowing of early spring crops and sugar beet in a short time and to obtain uniform shoots of spring wheat, peas and oil flax. Soybean sowing is also nearing completion — the crop has been sown on almost 80% of the planned area.
It is impossible to forecast the summer weather during crop ripening at this point, but farmers hope for a calm summer that will allow all work to be done on time and the desired yield results to be achieved.
Work is currently continuing on plant care, disease and pest control on winter wheat, and weed and pest control on spring wheat, flax, sugar beet and soybeans.
We wish farmers a summer season that fully lives up to their expectations!
