Published 05.01.2023 In the third decade of December in the south and south-east of the republic in the areas of winter crops cultivation, meteorological conditions for overwintering were less favorable, precipitation was below normal. Stable snow cover is observed in fields with winter crops in Almaty and Zhetysu regions. In the Zhambyl and Turkestan regions, snow is mostly absent, which, with a decrease in air temperature, can contribute to the freezing of winter crops.
In the West Kazakhstan region, in the areas of winter grain crops cultivation, a stable snow cover (8-10 cm) remains, which has a protective effect on plants with uniform distribution on the soil surface, therefore, the low temperature on the soil surface (minus 13...15C) was not so dangerous for overwintering.
