Current situation and prospects of cereal crops growing in Ukraine

Abstract

Increasing grain yielding is a strategically important task.However, it is known that there has not been a significant increase in the yield of cereal crops in recent years.In addition, the inefficient use of irrigated soils actualizes the problem of reducing the shortage of crop products.Therefore, at the present stage of resolving these issues is particularly acute. To solve these complex problems, it is necessary to use new perspective cereal crops, their varieties (hybrids) with high genetic potential of productivity, and also to apply a complex of agrotechnical measures corresponding to the area of cultivation in each agro-ecological zone. Cereal crops are one of such prospects. The economic efficiency of cereal crops growing in southern Ukraine has not been sufficiently studied, and at the present stage, output of products which requires less use of resources while maximizing use of potential of cultivated crops and regional features is a priority area.The issues of increasing the economic efficiency of cerea l crop yielding require further scientific justification and practical solution.
