A brief agrometeorological review for the 2nd decade of September 2026.
In the second decade of September, weather conditions in the grain-bearing half of the country were good for the continuation of harvesting operations, heavy precipitation occurred in Kostanay and North Kazakhstan regions. In the main grain-bearing regions of the northern half of the country, harvesting operations continue on spring grain crops, as well as post-harvest activities (plowing, rolling).
The ""maturation of the 1st pod of raw material" phase continues in the south and south-east of the country on crops of heat-loving crops (soybeans, cotton), and the "first and second stages of maturation" phases are noted in soybeans. The condition of the plants is generally good and excellent. In the vicinity of the Kyzyltu meteorological station in the Aksu district of the Zhetisu region, sugar beet continues its development phase of "leaf yellowing". The condition of the plants is excellent.
The "harvest ripeness" development phase continues in sunflower crops in Abai, East Kazakhstan, Kostanay, Akmola and Pavlodar regions. The condition of the plants is excellent. Harvesting operations have begun in the Ulken-Naryn and Altai districts of the East Kazakhstan region, as well as in the Ulken-Naryn district, plowing of swells was carried out in some areas.
In the Almaty, Zhambyl, Turkestan regions and the Zhetisu region, orchards with fruit crops continue. The condition of fruit crops is generally good and excellent, in some areas of the Saudakent meteorological station in the Sarysu district of the Zhambyl region it is poor (non-ripening of wood). Apple trees are being harvested in the Panfilov district of the Zhetisu region, in the Yenbekshikazakh district of the Almaty region, as well as near Almaty. In the Sarkand district of the Zhetisu region, water-charging irrigation of the apple tree was carried out.
The """""regrowing after the 3rd mowing"-"flowering after the 3rd mowing" development phases continue in the observation areas of perennial alfalfa and esparcet grasses in the south and southeast, and the "seed maturation"-"regrowing after the 1st mowing" development phases continue in the west and north of the grasses (granary).. The condition of the plants is generally good and excellent, satisfactory in some areas.
In most of the territory of cattle breeding, the grazing of pastures is almost everywhere weak and moderate, pastures are not grazed in the Zhambyl and Mangystau regions.
In the north, west, east, south, and southeast of the country, soil moisture reserves in the half-meter and meter layers were mostly satisfactory and optimal, while in the upper arable layer they were mostly insufficient.
