In the north-west of the country, in the vicinity of the Martuk meteorological station in the Martuk district of the Aktobe region, oat crops are experiencing a "waxy ripeness" phase of development, and the plants are in good condition. In spring barley crops in Martuk and Kargaly districts, "blooming", and in some areas of late crops, "tubing", in Martuk, Khromtau and Aitikebiy districts, in spring wheat crops, there is a phase of development "the appearance of the lower stem node above the soil surface"-"earing", the condition of the plants is generally good.

The condition of the plants is good and excellent. In the East Kazakhstan region, the "earing"-"flowering" phase of development is observed in spring grain crops, and in the Glubokivsky (Sekisovka weather station) area, "exit into the tube".
