Carrie's arrival is likely to be delayed in 2021 due to climate change

Mumbai, Ta. 30 December 2020, Wednesday

Kerry's arrival in 2021 is likely to be delayed as a result of the change in weather conditions in Maharashtra. It is learned that the cycle of peacock (flower) sitting on the mango tree has been disrupted due to weather disturbances.

Maharashtra's Hafus Kerry's revenue usually starts from early March. But this year, only five per cent of the trees in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri, Raigad, Sindhudurg, Thane and Palghar districts are flowering, which could delay mango revenue.

Twenty percent of the trees begin to bloom by December, but this year the flowering has slowed down due to climate change. In the year 2020, heavy rains fell on the Konkan belt and continued for a long time.

The monsoon was withdrawn two weeks late.

The flower on the mango tree needs more warm climate. According to a horticulture scientist, the evaporation of water in the soil was not completed in October 2020 when the heat did not fall so much.

In addition, even in the winter season, the disparity in temperature does not provide flexibility to the flowering process. The 2020 season was a failure for mango growers due to the Corona epidemic and lockdown.
