Use of desiccants in the agricultural sector of Ukraine

Image
   Desiccants are chemicals that are designed to dehydrate plant tissues, particularly roots. Their use is necessary in order to carry out the harvest quickly in a short time. Desiccation is performed by spraying the plants in the pre-harvest period. Moreover, this procedure does not have a negative impact on the yield and does not change the sowing quality of seeds intended for use next year. Ukrainian supplier of fertilizers and plant protection products offers a wide range of high quality agricultural products, including desiccants. Desiccants are most often used for the following crops:     Cereals;     Sunflower;     Linen;     Pea;     Rapeseed. What is important to consider when choosing a desiccant? To desiccate various crops, Ukrainian farmers mainly use drugs based on diquat and glyphosate. However, it is important to understand for which crops the drug is selected - seed or commodity. Preparations based on glyphosate are intended for seed crops and are designed for long-term

In the village in the Kherson region, Swedish carpets are made

   This story might never have been what we know it today if it weren't for the Swedes. If in August 1782 1,200 Swedes, who founded the settlement of Staroshvedske in Tavria, had not gone to the south of Ukraine, and if the Ukrainian Larysa Boden had not gone to conquer Sweden in the early 2000s. Were it not for these two, at first glance, unrelated historical facts, in 2018 there would be no factory in the village of Lyubimovka for the production of designer carpets, which are now sold in 29 countries. The modern Swedish community lives in the Taurian village of Zmiivka, not far from Kakhovka. The village of Zmiivka, where about 100 people now live, arose on the site of the settlement of Staroshvedske. Descendants of the Scandinavians have preserved here the old religious rites of their ancestors. Among them are even those who still speak the Swedish language, which was spoken in Sweden only in the 18th century. Near Zmiivka is the village of Lyubimivka, where the factory of Larys
