Subject: seeking No-till System publications for Agricultural Journals in UKRAINE

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….
