A brief agrometeorological review for the 3rd decade of September 2026.
Harvesting operations are coming to an end in the main grain-bearing regions of the northern half of the country.
At the end of the decade, the phase of development of the 3rd leaf of winter wheat was noted in the vicinity of the Zhalanash meteorological station in the Kegeni district of the Almaty region. At the end of the decade, winter wheat sowing began near the Sarqand meteorological station in the Sarkand district of the Zhetisu region.
In the south and south-east of the country, on crops of thermophilic crops (soybeans, cotton), the "maturation of the 1st pod of raw material" continues in cotton, the "second stage of maturation" phase is noted in soybeans. The condition of the plants is generally good and excellent. Sugar beet harvesting has begun in the vicinity of the Kyzyltu meteorological station in the Aksu district of the Zhetisu region.
In the Abai, East Kazakhstan, Kostanay, Akmola and Pavlodar regions, the "harvest ripeness" development phase continues in sunflower crops. The condition of the plants is good and excellent. Harvesting operations have begun in Bulandyn district of Akmola region, Irtysh, Terenkolsky district of Pavlodar region, as well as in Samara, Shemonaikha and Glubokoe districts of East Kazakhstan region.
In Almaty, Zhambyl, Turkestan, and Zhetisu regions, orchards with fruit crops have phases of development of "fruit ripening" - "leaf blossoming" on the branches of apple trees, pears, and raspberries. 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 (wood is not ripening). Apple harvesting continues in the Panfilov district of the Zhetisu region and in the Yenbekshikazakh district, as well as near Almaty, Almaty region.
In the observation areas of perennial alfalfa and esparcet grasses in the south and southeast, the phases of development "regrowth after the 3rd mowing"-"flowering after the 3rd mowing", in the west and north, the phases of development "seed ripening"-"regrowth after the 1st mowing" continue in the granary grasses. The condition of the plants is good and satisfactory.
The condition of the herbage in most of the pastures is assessed as satisfactory, good and excellent. Grazing is weak and moderate almost everywhere, and there is no grazing in the Zhambyl and Mangystau regions. The condition of the sod is mostly dry, and wet sod is found only in the Aktobe region.
In the west, north, center, east, southeast and south of the country, moisture reserves in the half-meter and meter soil layers were mostly optimal and satisfactory, while in the upper arable layer they were insufficient.
