Published 25.09.2026 A brief agrometeorological review for the 3rd decade of October 2026.
In the third decade of October, harvesting of spring grain crops was completed in the main grain-bearing regions of Kazakhstan.
In the south and south-east of the country, moderately warm weather was observed in areas of winter wheat cultivation, and in mountainous and foothill areas, temperatures dropped, mostly without precipitation, in some areas precipitation fell less than normal. In the Kegen district of the Almaty region and the Sarkand district of the Zhetisu region, the average temperature dropped to 2 °C and below in the observation areas of winter wheat, and the vegetation of winter wheat stopped. At the observation sites in the vicinity of the city of Taldykorgan in the Zhetisu region and the Tolebi district of the Turkestan region, "shoots" of winter wheat are noted, and in the Kordai, Shusa districts of the Zhambyl region and the Kerbulak district of the Zhetisu region, "grain germination"-"shoots" phases are noted. Winter grain crops have begun to be sown in Zhambyl, Uygur districts of Almaty region, Shusa district of Zhambyl region, Tulkibassky, Kazygurt districts and Shymkent city of Turkestan region.
In the south and south-east of the republic (Turkestan and Almaty regions), harvesting of heat-loving crops (corn, cotton) continues.
Sunflower harvesting events were held in the Ulan district of the East Kazakhstan region.
In the south and southeast, perennial grasses have a development phase of "regrowth after the 3rd mowing", in some areas "regrowth after the 2nd mowing" -"cessation of vegetation", in the west and north "regrowth after the 1st mowing"-"earing after the 2nd mowing".
During the decade, cattle grazing was carried out everywhere. In the western regions, work continued on harvesting and laying hay, as well as the delivery of feed. In some areas of the Almaty region, animal breeders bathed animals, and veterinary and preventive measures were carried out in the Ulytau region.
Grazing is weak and moderate almost everywhere, individual pastures in Zhambyl and Mangystau regions have not been grazed, and pastures in the vicinity of the Aidarly station in Zhambyl district of Almaty region and the Taipak station in Akzhaiksky district of West Kazakhstan region are heavily grazed. The condition of the sod is mostly dry, moistened sod is noted only in the territory of the Aktobe region.
