A brief agrometeorological review for the 1st decade of October 2026.
In the first decade of October, moderately warm weather with precipitation was observed in the predominant territory of the grain-growing zone of Kazakhstan. In the northern half of the republic, precipitation was observed mainly in the middle of the decade, which in some places could make it difficult to complete harvesting of spring crops. In grain-bearing regions, harvesting is coming to an end.
In the south and southeast, in the areas of winter wheat cultivation in the vicinity of the Zhalanash meteorological station in the Kegeni district of the Almaty region, the phase of development of the 3rd leaf continued. Winter wheat seedlings were observed near the Sarqand meteorological station in the Sarkand district of the Zhetisu region at the end of the decade. Winter wheat sowing has begun in the observed areas in the vicinity of the Taldykorgan meteorological station and the Shokan agricultural post in the Kerbulak district of the Zhetisu region, as well as the Kordai AMP agricultural post in the Kordai district of the Zhambyl region.
In the south and south-east of the republic (Turkestan region and Zhetisu region), harvesting of heat-loving crops (corn, cotton, soybeans) continues.
In the south and southeast, perennial grasses have a development phase of "regrowth after the 1st mowing" - "regrowth after the 3rd mowing", in the Zhetisu region "flowering after the 3rd mowing", in the west and north "seed maturation"-"regrowth after the 1st mowing".
Cattle grazing on pastures was carried out almost throughout the entire territory of pasture cattle breeding, grass harvesting and hay stacking in haylofts are carried out in Kzylkoginsky and Kurmangazinsky districts of Atyrau region, in Akzhaiksky district of West Kazakhstan region, feed supply to winter bases continues in Mangystau and Beine districts of Mangystau region, animal breeders in the Ulytau region drove animals to autumn pastures.. Grazing is weak and moderate almost everywhere, individual pastures in Zhambyl and Mangystau regions have not been grazed, pastures in the vicinity of Ilyinsky station in the Alginsky district of the Aktobe region and Taipak station in the Akzhaiksky district of the West Kazakhstan region are heavily grazed. The condition of the sod is mostly dry, and raw sod is found only in the Aktobe region.
