   Within the framework of the grant assistance program «The Programme for Emergency Recovery» from the Government of Japan, and with the support of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the branches of the Ukrainian Institute for Plant Variety Examination continue to actively use advanced agricultural machinery.

   The Lviv affiliate of UIPVE successfully carried out the harvesting of experimental cereal plots within the framework of qualification examination, using a modern combine harvester.

   The Poltava affiliate of UIPVE completed the harvesting of barley with the use of a modern combine harvester and conducted mulching of green manure crops (mustard) on the experimental plots of the Karlivka Field Research Department for the future establishment of variety trials. This significantly reduced labor intensity and increased process efficiency.

   The use of new breeding combine harvesters has greatly accelerated the harvesting process. They are equipped with an automatic sampling and packaging mechanism for laboratory analyses. During harvesting, the equipment measures grain moisture content and calculates the yield of the tested varieties. Such machinery ensures fast mechanized harvesting without grain loss or damage. The use of modern high-power tractors makes it possible to apply a variety of tillage implements to perform the necessary agrotechnical operations required for plant variety qualification examinations.

   We sincerely express our gratitude to the people of Japan and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for their valuable assistance and support of the state variety testing system in Ukraine.

   The implementation of this project is taking place with the support of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.
