Thus, as of November 16, diseases of the ear are developing in the sown areas of winter and spring grains on unharvested fields.

Also, in the Chernihiv region, helminthosporiosis is developing on barley. 2-14% of grain plants are affected by brown leaf rust. In the Zhytomyr region, septoria, powdery mildew, and red-brown spot are detected on 1-6% of oat plants. In Volyn and Zhytomyr regions, ergot has been found on 1.2-5% of rye ears.
Specialists advise that after harvesting, it is essential to conduct seed phytopathology analysis and, if disease pathogens are prevalent, decide on the choice of seed treatment and timely health improvement of the sowing material.
