New delhi date. August 26, 2019, Monday

Kharif plantations have increased significantly in the past week as farmers in Central India prefer to harvest more cotton and soybeans. However, the kharif cultivation area is still less than two percent lower in the current year compared to August 1 last year, according to data released by the Ministry of Agriculture.

By August 1, kharif cultivation on a total area of ​​1 lakh hectares has been completed, which was 1 lakh hectare in the same period last year. In the current kharif season, cotton, tuwar, bajra, maize and soybean planting are currently higher than last year.

In Maharashtra, Telangana and Rajasthan, cotton sowing was seen in the past week and acreage has been completed on an area of ​​1.5 lakh hectares, which is about 8 percent higher than last year. In addition, soybean cultivation also remained as high as one percent.

Half and pulses of beans in pulses were down by 8 per cent and 0.6 per cent, respectively, while tewar sowing was up by 8 per cent. Bajra acreage has increased by 8.5% while sorghum has been showing a decline of 8.5%.

Due to the deficit of rainfall in the eastern states of the country, rice cultivation is witnessing a decline which has an impact on the overall kharif plantation, sources in the Agriculture Ministry said. Rice cultivation is seen as less than 5 per cent compared to last year. The delay in monsoon has also affected rice cultivation.
