In spring barley crops in the Martuk and Kargaly districts, "earing" is observed, and in some areas of late crops, "tillering", in the Martuk, Khromtau and Aitikebiy districts, the development phase of "tillering" is observed in spring wheat crops. The condition of the plants is generally good.
In the east, in the Urdzharsky and Zharminsky districts of the Abai region, the "earing"-"flowering" development phase continues in spring wheat crops, and in the Borodulikhinsky district, "milk ripeness" in spring barley crops. The condition of the plants is good and excellent.
In the East Kazakhstan region, the "exit into the tube" phase of development is observed in spring grain crops -"the appearance of a lower stem node above the soil surface", in the Samara (Samarka weather station) koloshenie district. Near the Shemonaiha weather station, the "earing" phase was observed in spring barley crops. The plants are in good condition.
In the center, in the Abai district of the Karaganda region, the "milk ripeness" phase of development is observed in spring barley crops, in the Nurinsky, Karkaralinsky, Aktogay, Osakarovsky districts, the "exit into the tube" is "earing". In the Karkaralinsky, Osakarovsky, Nurinsky districts, the "exit into the tube" phase of development is noted in spring wheat crops -"the appearance of a lower stem node above the soil surface", and in the vicinity of the Karaganda weather station of the Bukharzhyrau district and the agricultural posts of Kobeti of the Nurinsky district, as well as the Yesil of the Osakarovsky district, "koloshenie".

On the last day of the decade, the overall assessment of the condition of the edificator plants ranges from satisfactory to excellent, and the grasslands are mostly in good condition. The most favorable excellent condition (in terms of height and condition assessment) is observed in Almaty, North Kazakhstan and in certain areas of Aktobe regions, satisfactory grass condition is observed in individual pastures in Aktobe, West Kazakhstan, Turkestan regions and Ulytau and Zhetysu regions.
According to the results of instrumental measurements of soil moisture reserves in the third decade of June in the northern grain-bearing regions (Kostanay, Akmola, North Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions), moderate and optimal moisture availability was mainly recorded in the half-meter and meter soil layers, while in the arable layer in most observation areas there is a decrease in moisture reserves. In the central part of the country and in the east, due to the lack of precipitation, productive moisture reserves in the arable and half-meter soil layers remain insufficient.
