Kazakhstan: The amount of show in mid-January contributed to an increase in soil moisture reserves

As of the middle of this month, in the southern and southeastern regions of Kazakhstan (winter crops are grown in these regions), the temperature regime was below the established norm.

However, the amount of precipitation exceeds the norm, which in turn has improved the formation of soil moisture reserves.

The information was provided by Kazgidromet.

In some regions of the country, there is snow cover, which prevents plants from freezing due to low temperatures. However, in the Zhambyl and Turkestan regions there is no snow cover, which is why winter crops can freeze.

In addition, in the case of frequent thaws in the daytime and a sharp decrease in temperature at night, poorly developed winter wheat sprouts can be damaged.

At the end of January, a large amount of snow fell in Kazakhstan, which led to an increase in soil moisture reserves. This can have a positive impact on crops and crops. An increase in moisture reserves can improve the situation with the supply of agricultural products in the local and international markets. In addition, it may help increase crop production in the future.

Currently, Kazakhstan is one of the largest producers of grain and other crops in the region, as well as an important exporter of products. Improving the situation with soil moisture can help improve Kazakhstan’s position in the agricultural market and provide additional income for the country.
