Summary

The methods are presented of agrometeorological forecasting of winter and spring grain crops for the district, all types of farm units, and field taking account of the regional crop forecast, weather conditions, cereal cropping technologies, and soil cultivation level. The additional yields of winter and spring wheat and spring barley and oat are developed depending on the soil cultivation level, summertime soil moistening, and doses of mineral fertilizers. The method tested on the basis of independent data demonstrated that the accuracy of such forecasts is 83-99% for the fields with intensive cultivation technology and 80% for the farm units.
