Published 07.06.2024 According to the data of the State Monitoring Network of RSE Kazhydromet, in the third decade of May, all grain-growing areas of the northern half of the republic continue sowing spring crops, processing fields with herbicides against weeds. In Akmola, Pavlodar and Karaganda regions, the sowing campaign was complicated by heavy rainfall, which hindered the pace of field work. Night frosts in the air minus 1-3 ° C and short-term frosts on the soil surface up to minus 1-5 ° C in the north, west, east and center of the country were not dangerous for the emergence of grain crops. At the same time, the processes of germination and emergence of seedlings at low temperatures can proceed slowly.
In the south and south-east of the republic, the observed areas of spring grain crops show phases of development "exit into the tube"-"earing", in the foothill areas "3rd leaf"-"tillering". The condition of spring grain crops is mostly good. The height of the plants is 12 - 45 cm.
In the west, the "shoots"-"3rd leaf" phase of development is noted on spring grain crops, in the vicinity of the Lubenka agropost and the Fedorovka Kushenia weather station. The height of spring wheat is 13-16 cm, barley is 21 cm. In Aktobe region, the phases "shoots" - "3rd leaf" are noted on grain crops, the phase "formation of nodular roots" is noted in oats. The height of the plants is 12-14 cm. The condition of spring grain crops is mostly good.
In the north (Kostanay, North Kazakhstan, Akmola and Pavlodar regions), spring grain crops continue to be sown, the phases of development "grain germination" - "3rd leaf" are noted in the crops, in the Irtysh district (Golubovka weather station) In the Pavlodar region, the "formation of nodular roots" phase is noted on spring barley crops. The condition of the plants is mostly good and excellent.
In the center of the country, sowing of spring grain crops continues, on spring barley crops in the Abai district (agropost Agrogorodok), where sowing was carried out in the second decade of April, the "exit into the tube" phase of development is noted. The phases of development of "shoots" - "formation of nodular roots" are noted on spring wheat crops. The height of the plants is 10-28 cm, the condition of spring crops is mostly good.
In the east of the country, the sowing of spring cereals continues, the development phases "shoots" - "3rd leaf" are noted on spring wheat crops, "formation of nodular roots" - "tillering" on early crops, in the Urjar district of the Abai region, the development phase "exit into the tube" is noted on spring wheat crops. The height of spring wheat varied between 10 - 26 cm, the condition of the plants is mostly good and excellent.
In the south and south-east of the republic, favorable conditions for the growth and development of winter wheat were observed. The past rains have contributed to the accumulation of moisture in the soil. In the observed areas of winter wheat, the phases of development "earing" - "flowering" are noted, in the vicinity of the Asa and Tole Bi weather stations, and the Shymkent weather station, the phase of "milk ripeness" is noted. The height of the plants varied between 40-94 cm. The condition of winter wheat is mostly good and excellent.
In the south of the country, on crops of thermophilic crops (soybeans, rice, cotton), in the Turkestan region, on cotton crops, leaf growth is mainly noted. The condition of the plants is mostly good and excellent. The phase of development of "shoots" - "3rd leaf" in Almaty, Zhetysu and Kyzylorda regions is marked on rice crops. The condition of the plants is mostly good. In the vicinity of the Bakanas weather station in the Almaty region, water was drained from rice checks. On cotton crops in the Turkestan region, leaf growth is mainly noted, the condition of the plants is mostly excellent and good.
Sunflower seeds are being sown on sunflower crops, and the observed sites show the phases of development of "shoots" - "2nd pair of leaves" in the Abai, East Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions. The condition of the plants is good and excellent.
Oilseed flax is being sown in the North Kazakhstan region. Sorghum has begun to be sown in the west, and the development phase of the "2nd pair of real leaves" is marked on safflower crops. The condition of the plants is mostly good. In Almaty and Zhetysu regions, the observed potato plots show a phase of development of "shoots". In the north and in the center, potato planting continues in the observed areas.
In the southern regions of the republic, the phases of "appearance of inflorescences" – "maturation of seeds" are observed everywhere on crops of perennial grasses (alfalfa, esparcet, clover), in the vicinity of the Aksengir weather stations in the Almaty region, Ushtobe of the Zhetysu region and Bogen of the Turkestan region, the first slope of the green mass is noted.
The condition of the sod on pastures is mostly raw, on some pastures in Aktobe, West Kazakhstan, Kostanay and Mangystau regions, the sod is dry.
The overall visual assessment of grassland is mostly "good", in some pastures "satisfactory".
In the third decade of May, in the main grain-bearing regions of the country, soil moisture accumulation conditions were satisfactory and optimal due to the past heavy precipitation, with the exception of certain areas where unsatisfactory soil moisture reserves were noted.
