Severe frosts (up to -18-22°С) observed in Ukraine during the last week did not damage winter cross across most of the territory, declared the Head of the Agrometeorology department at the Ukrainian hydrometeorological center, Tetyana Adamenko.

“Despite the low temperatures, there were no conditions for winterkilling of crops due to snow cover. Winter barley and rapeseed as well as weak plants of winter wheat was damaged locally only in some regions, mainly in Kharkov and Odessa oblasts, where small snow cover or no snow cover at all was observed. The soil temperature at the depth of tillering zone declined to -13-15°С here”, - the expert said.
