Kazakhstan agrarians are concerned about the future harvest because of a possible drought
The agrarians of the Republic of Kazakhstan are concerned about the indicators of the future harvest, because the weather conditions do not currently contribute to high yield indicators. As you know, the replenishment of the state treasury directly depends on the yield indicators.
On today’s fields, there is a complete absence of snow, which in the future will lead to the dry soil, so this is important to use all possible ways to accumulate moisture in the soil. Thus, for example, it is important to calculate the appropriate time of sowing, because with reduced humidity, it needs to be carried out later so that the plants can survive before the rainy season starts.
Also, in such conditions, autumn soil cultivation is very important, but even if the moment has already been lost, there is no reason to give up on trying.
In addition, when choosing cereals, different factors must be taken into account. So, if the moisture content is insufficient, it is better to sow crops such as barley and oats, because it can be sown in June, when the rainy season has already begun, and besides, the price of barley is not much lower than the price of wheat. Also, if the drought will take place, it is better to reduce rape crops and sow flax, since rapeseed is a very water-loving plant, but flax, on the contrary, can withstand a drought. In drought conditions it is good to sow peas and lentils.
To sum up, if one wants to withstand any challenges of nature, it is important to make accurate calculations of sowing and to imply the necessary technologies that suit best exactly for this type of soil.
Kazakhstan, as an agricultural power, faces a serious challenge in the face of a possible drought and its potential impact on crop yields. Dry winds, lack of rainfall and climate change create unstable conditions for agriculture. Farmers are striving to find solutions to meet these challenges and ensure the country’s food security.
To mitigate the effects of the drought, the government of Kazakhstan is taking a number of measures. The introduction of efficient irrigation systems, the development of drought-resistant plant varieties, and the use of modern technologies help farmers grow crops even in adverse conditions.
Agricultural enterprises are actively adapting to a changing climate by introducing innovative methods and modern systems of land cultivation. They are mastering precision irrigation, micro-fertilization and plant breeding technologies to improve production efficiency.
