Harvesting of sunflower in the fields of Agroliga Group finished. This year's crop was sown oilseed 1856.59 hectares, from which collected 6502 tons. The average yield was 35 quintals per hectare, with an average yield of sunflower in Ukraine this year, according to preliminary data of State Statistics Service, is 17.1 c/ha, 16.7 c/ha last year. In the last year Agroliga sunflower yield was 31.5 centner per hectare.

The higher yield this year is related primarily to the program using new CAS fertilizer launched this year. Granular nitroammofosfat potassium nitrate, and other traditional fertilizers used in the bulk of Ukrainian farms were replaced by liquid fertilizers. In addition to the CAS, program intensification of agricultural production also involves the use of chelate fertilizers introduced at the stage of sunflower vegetation. This year they have been applied to experimental plots, and have showed a good result. The following season chelate fertilizer will be included in the main loop plant, which will further increase the yield of sunflower and crops.

Also this year the practice was used to working with apiaries, we had contracts with four companies, set out on the field during the flowering of sunflower and buckwheat more than 200 beehives. This support helps to pollinate and create more of the ovaries in the flowers.

Harvest went to the elevators of the Group for further processing into sunflower oil.
