# Late winter wheat sowing in Ukraine increases risk of crop damage during winter

> A significant share of Ukraine’s winter wheat may enter winter underdeveloped because of late sowing and unfavorable temperatures, according to the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences. Some fields sown in the first half of November may not emerge before winter, and weak autumn development could reduce frost hardiness and spring yield potential.
