Russia will reduce rye collection to 1.3 million tons this year. The rye harvest decreased from 7.1 million tons in 2002 to 1.4 million tons in 2019. Producers are concerned about the decline in interest in rye due to low prices and unprofitability. It is possible that rye bread will become a rarity.

The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) explained that soil fertility is key to achieving high crop yields. The main indicators include organic matter, acidity, available potassium, and active phosphorus. Decreasing fertility involves changes in three criteria set by the government in 2011. Soil tests are important for preserving the environment.

The area of ​​new gardens in the Krasnodar region has increased to 650 hectares, and it is planned to add another 1200 hectares.

Exceeding levels of clomazone can lead to plant growth retardation, while manganese slows down crop growth and may result in crop damage.

Scientists from Michigan and PRL are studying how the American birch adapts to the environment through photosynthesis. They have found that trees maintain a reserve capacity to adapt to environmental changes. This confirms that they can cope with climate change and maintain high activity of photosynthetic enzymes.

The Chishmin Plant in Bashkortostan has started supplying sugar beet pulp to Uzbekistan. A batch of 20 tons was sent in November, with plans to increase the volumes to 1000 tons monthly. Beet pulp is in demand in Uzbekistan's livestock farming and is considered an effective feed additive.
