  • The Kyrgyz Cabinet of Ministers has updated the list of seasonal agricultural works.
  • The revisions clarify which spring field activities are considered seasonal, including fertilization, soil preparation, and planting.
  • The changes, made in accordance with a law on plant protection, will take effect in 10 days.

The Cabinet of Ministers in Kyrgyzstan has amended the official list of seasonal agricultural works, a move intended to provide clearer definitions for agricultural activities.

The updated document specifically details spring field operations that fall under the seasonal category. These now explicitly include the application of mineral and organic fertilizers, soil preparation, spring plowing, and the sowing of crops. Additionally, the irrigation of agricultural crops and chemical or biological treatments against pests, diseases, and weeds are also defined as seasonal tasks.

A key clarification in the new decree is the formal inclusion of plant protection activities, whether conducted using chemical or biological methods, as seasonal agricultural work. This aligns with the provisions of the Law "On Chemicalization and Plant Protection."

The resolution is set to come into force 10 days after its official publication, ensuring that agricultural producers and authorities have a defined period to adapt to the updated regulations.
