TOWARDS SPRING
- Spring is already in its rights. Parallel with started agricultural works, an attempt is made “to make whole” the consequences of unprecendented frosts in the sphere of agriculture. And how reliable the alarms about the incidents of freezing, we asked the vice-minister of agriculture Vladimir Zaqiyan to explain. Our interlocuter has agreed that there are really some problems. More, if some branches of agriculture have incured a loss much or less from freezing, instead, in some branches “a successful start” has been fixed. “Grain sowing has passed successfully in winter: it snowed much, -informed Mr Zakiyan, - and winter was not so frosty, that could damage the sowing. -18C is considered already critical for grain sowing, but the minimal temperature didn’t exceed -15C. Let’s inform, that the general size of realized autumn sowing has compiled 32 thousand hectares (previous year – 47 thousand hectares). Our interlocuter has estimated this fact positive. But situation in the sphere of vine-growing is other. “We have rather serious problems in the sphere of vine-growing. On the same vine one part of buds was damaged by frost, one part – was not”,- informed V.Zakiyan. By his information, freezing has generally compiled 30-35 per cent. It naturally will have also an effect on harvest. Mr Zakiyan has assured, that this winter didn’t do essential damage to the sphere of cattle breeding too. Here, with such indexes the sphere of agriculture has overcome the unprecendented cold winter. The works of spring sowing are already in the process. About 1500 tons of nitrogenous fertilizer were imported in the republic. The price of 1 kg fertilizer is 104 drams. Though state assistance will be not limitted only thus much. An assistance is foreseen in the question of requiring seeds of spring sowing cultured plants. 274 tons of early-ripening seed potatoes have been already imported, the price of 1 kg – 230 drams.It is foreseen to import 30 tons for Martuni and Kashatagh regions. An import of seed corn, pea, bean and spelt is also included within the scopes of the same program.
