Brief overview of agrometeorological conditions

A brief agrometeorological overviewIn the 2nd decade of July 2024
In the observed areas of spring crops in the south and south-east of the republic, in many areas, harvesting of spring barley began in the areas of "milk ripeness" - "full ripeness", in some areas - "flowering", in the Almaty region (Bakanas weather station) and Zhambyl region (Kordai, Sarykemir) and spring wheat. The condition of spring cereals is mostly good.
In the West, in the fields of spring crops in the West Kazakhstan region, there is a period of development of "milk ripeness" - "wax ripeness", in the Aktobe region "earing" - "flowering", in the area of the Kumkudyk weather station - "formation of the Lower columnar node". The condition of the plants is good and satisfactory, near the weather station there is a bad Peremetnoe, where yellowing of the ears is observed. In the area of the Novoalekseevka weather station, complete drying of plants (plant death) is observed on spring wheat. In the areas where oats are observed, near the Martuk meteorological station of the Aktobe region, a phase of "wax ripeness" is observed. The plants are in good condition.
Depending on the timing of sowing in the north (Kostanay, North Kazakhstan, Akmola and Pavlodar regions), spring grain crops were in the phases of "formation of the lower stem node" - "earing", in late crops - "loosening" - "exit into the pipe". The condition of spring cereals is generally good and satisfactory. On spring wheat crops near the Atbasar meteorological station in Akmola region, drying of stems is observed, yellowing of plant organs is observed in the vicinity of the Saumalkol meteorological station in North Kazakhstan region, yellowing of leaves of the lower layers is observed in the vicinity of the Fedorovka meteorological station in Kostanay region.
     In the center of the country (Karaganda, Ulytau regions), the "earing" - "flowering" phases are observed in the fields of spring wheat and barley, "milk ripeness" in the early fields, and an agro-town is observed in the Abai district in the fields of barley "full ripeness". The condition of spring cereals is mostly good.
In the east of the country (in the Abai and East Kazakhstan regions), the stages of development of "earing" - "flowering" are mainly observed in the fields of spring wheat, in some areas - "milk ripeness", in late fields - "exit into the test tube". The plants are in good condition and magnificent.
In the controlled areas of winter wheat in the south and south-east of the republic (Zhetysu, Almaty, Zhambyl and Turkestan regions), periods of development of "full ripeness" are observed, with the exception of the Jalanash weather station of the Almaty region and the Tasaryk weather station of the Turkestan region, where "wax ripeness" was observed in the fields. Harvesting has begun in the area of Aksengir weather stations in Almaty region, Taldykorgan in Zhetysu region and Zhambyl region.
In the south of the country (Turkestan region), in heat-loving crops (soybeans, cotton), cotton mainly reflects the period of "flowering", in soybeans - the period of "beginning of flowering" - "appearance of beans". The condition of the plants is mostly good and excellent.
     In the Semirechensk region, the stage of "overlapping aisles" in sugar beet fields continues. The condition of the plants is excellent.
A period of leaf growth is observed on corn crops in the Almaty region, Zhambyl, Zhetysu and Turkestan regions. The condition is mostly good.
     In the rice fields of Almaty, Zhetysu and Kyzylorda regions, there is mainly a period of development of "earing", "milk ripeness" near the Ushtobe weather station of the Zhetysu region. The condition of the plants is mostly good.  
The period of "inflorescence formation" - "flowering" continues on sunflower crops in the Abai, East Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions. The condition of the plants is mostly good and in some places excellent.
In the controlled areas of the North Kazakhstan region, there is a period of development of "inflorescences" - "flowering" in oilseed flax crops. The condition of the plants is mostly good.
           In Almaty, Zhetysu, Karaganda, and North Kazakhstan regions, the stages of development "formation of inflorescences" - "end of flowering" are observed in controlled potato plots. The condition of the plants is mostly good.
The peat situation in the pastures is mainly dry, in some pastures of Aktobe, Karaganda, and Almaty regions peat is wet.
       The agrometeorological conditions were favorable for the growth and development of most pasture grasses, the overall visual assessment of pasture grass is generally good, and satisfactory in some pastures. The condition is good in Balkhash and Enbekshikazakh districts of Almaty region, Beine district of Mangistau region and Akzhar, Ualikhanov districts of North Kazakhstan region.
        In the second decade of July, the most favorable conditions for the accumulation of moisture reserves in the soil were observed in the main grain-bearing areas of the country, where precipitation was mainly observed during the decade, close to normal and higher.
