TOPIC: request for ARTICLES for publication in AGRICULTURAL JOURNALS in UKRAINE
During
the 9th International No-till Conference in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine
organized by the private agribusiness “Agro-Soyuz UKRAINE ” conference
participants raised many questions about sunflower production. SUNFLOWER production
is a PROFIT CENTER in Ukrainian cropping systems. According to Cargill Ukraine,
the oil content of sunflower seed in Ukraine is higher in comparision to the
same sunflower seed produced in other Cargill sunflower seed production areas
in the world. Ukraine has risen to the #1 position globally in export of
processed SUNFLOWER OIL. ( Argentina is #1 in export of SUNFLOWER SEED). In
response, Randy Anderson, USDA ARS who has participated in three of the International
No-till Conferences organized by “Agro-Soyuz UKRAINE” since year
2004 and has spent time “in the field” with our agronomists in
Ukraine has submitted an article in response to the questions. Agro-Soyuz has
disseminated the article “Impact of Sunflower on Land
Productivity in the Semiarid Steppe of the United States”( attached: original + translation) to the
registered No-till 2012 conference participants. The agricultural journal “AgroExpert”
plans to publish the article “Impact of Sunflower on Land
Productivity in the Semiarid Steppe of the United States” in the
forthcoming issue.
Neonila (Augusta) Martyniuk,
responsible for International Development for Agro-Soyuz UKRAINE is sending
this communication to you with the following request: “ Agricultural
journals in Ukraine are actively seeking articles on No-till Systems. We would
like to request that you review your archives of material on NO-TILL SYSTEMS / PLANTANDO
NA PALHA / SEMBRANDA EN LA PAJA / [seeding directly into crop residue] and / or
prepare new articles and forward article selections to [log in to unmask] for consideration for
publication in Agricultural Journals in UKRAINE.
Thank-you for the attention to this special request! Ukrainian producers are lagging way behind in their understanding of No-till Systems and Soil Health. If a global impact is to be made, it is important to disseminate what we have already understood….
