It is difficult to overestimate the importance of grain crops when half of all farmland in the world is occupied by wheat, rye, rice, corn, sorghum, barley and oats. Being the most demanded crops, the whole complex of agricultural technologies in the cultivation of cereals is aimed at intensifying production: preserving fertile humus, reducing climate risks and pest attacks, and increasing yields per unit field.

Peculiarities
General trends in the application of fertilizers and plant protection chemicals in both extensive and intensive cultivation of wheat and other cereals indicate that the priority of producers is shifting from the introduction of high doses of NPK and herbicides to more rational nutrition, accurate monitoring and correction of macro, meso and micronutrients deficiencies, minimizing the cost of non-renewable energy and optimizing renewable energy (solar radiation, circular bioeconomy and decarbonization).
In extensive cultivation, agricultural practices of “zero” tillage are gaining strength: mulching crop residues, refusing to plow, cultivate and harrow, strict dosing of fertilizers and plant protection products. For the “No-Till” system, soil improvers SatoSoil®, organo-mineral fertilizers Sato® Turbo and growth regulators SatoHum®, rich in humic and fulvic acids, are also recommended.
Intensive and precision agriculture is a high-cost and laborious in-line production of grain, focused on the maximum yield potential of varieties, rising seeding rates per hectare, maintaining optimal soil protection and melioration, diminishing risks of diseases and crop lodging. Many intensive farms rely on drastic weed clearing in search of the highest profitability.
We adhere to the principles of organic and ecological crop production and use the beneficial properties of sapropel and lowland peat and the resulting humates for thermo- and moisture regulation, natural plant immunization, and soil aeration, not forgetting the bactericidal and fungicidal effects of peat-sapropel mixtures. The following compositions are specially indicated for intensive farming: soil improvers SatoSoil®, organo-mineral fertilizers Sato® Turbo NPK, and liquid top dressing SatoHum®.
Main risks and defects of wheat
- low germination or non-viability of seeds,
- lodging of seedlings,
- grain fusarium,
- low vitreous grain,
- loss of grain gluten,
- shriveled grains,
- pre-harvest and post-harvest sprouting of grain in spike, on roots and in swaths,
- fungal attack (enzymomycosis depletion) and mold.
