Published 24.02.2023 In the second decade of February in the south and south-east of the republic in the areas of cultivation of winter crops, the temperature background was above normal, in the south by 2 ... 6 ° C, in the south-eastern regions there was a temperature fluctuation from plus 2 ° C to minus 1 ° C, precipitation fell near and below normal.
Intense thaws that took place in the southern regions for 6 days could reduce the winter hardiness of poorly developed winter wheat crops.
In the West Kazakhstan region, the minimum air temperature during the decade dropped to minus 28 ° C, which, with uneven distribution or absence of snow cover in the fields, could lead to the freezing of plants of underdeveloped wintering crops.
The height of the snow cover in the west reached 7-29 cm, in the northern outskirts of Aktobe region 48-54 cm, in the predominant territory of the southern regions was absent, in places it was up to 1-6 cm, in the southeast 1-13 cm and in places in mountainous areas in the south and southeast of Kazakhstan reached 22-134 cm.
The minimum soil temperature at the depth of the tillering node of winter wheat in the Turkestan region ranged from 0 ° C to minus 1 ° C, in the Zhambyl region minus 10 ° C and in the Almaty region minus 3 ° C.
