Comment from the Head of the Ingulets Elevator Laboratory (Dnipropetrovsk Region) Tatyana Burkovska: In the second stage of the harvesting period of late crops for elevators such as sunflower and corn, it is worth noting the increase in the mass fraction of ragweed in the accepted batches from 20 to 400 grains per kg of sample. This is due to the vegetation cycle of weeds in the fields at the time of harvest. There is also a decrease in the amount of residue on the sieve with holes with a diameter of 3.0 mm of small grains due to the physiological maturity of sunflower seeds at the time of harvesting oil from the fields.
