In Ukraine, wheat is the main grain crop. Today it is expensive to grow: in the fall you need to provide protection, 2-3 quintals of fertilizer and at least 3 top dressings. Another important point is the use of drugs to prevent disease.

As of July 29, 19.9 million tons of wheat were threshed from 4.9 million hectares. There is a little more than a fifth of the area planted with this crop left in the fields.

In 2015, the average yield in Ukraine was about 9.5 t / ha. The Colonia variety gave a record yield – 13.1 t / ha, which was the highest in the history of Ukraine. The best results were achieved in Germany in 2013, when the Colonia variety yielded 13.2 t / ha. And this year this variety set a new record – 15.2 t / ha. For other cereals, the data are as follows. From 2.5 million hectares, 8.2 million tons of barley were threshed with a yield of 33.1 c / ha (in 2015 – 29.2 c / ha). 153 thousand tons of rye were harvested from 60 thousand hectares of land with a yield of 25.7 c / ha (in 2015 – 24.4 c / ha). Oats were threshed on an area of ​​31 thousand hectares and 78 thousand tons of grain were obtained with a yield of 25.2 c / ha (in 2015 – 20.9 c / ha). In addition, 1.0 million tons of winter rapeseed were threshed from 395 thousand hectares with a yield of 26.2 c / ha (in 2015 – 25.4 c / ha), (according to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine).
