New Delhi: In what can indicate the year of a good plantation of food production in this country despite the distribution of rainfall leaning, sowing Kharif (summer) plants almost stuck with a seduced area in the period in accordance last year, with a minimum of three weeks of seasonal The operation is still in hand.
The latest data area data from the Ministry of Agriculture shows that the area of ​​Kharif (rice, pulses, oil, cotton, corn, and other rough cereals), as last Friday, for the first time this season crossed the average area of ​​the last five years ( 1,073 lakh hectares) which are considered ‘normal’ area of ​​all sowing seasons.
Last Friday, Areaf Kharif was standing in the 1,082 lakh hectare which was only 40 lakh hectares of less than wide area (1,122 lakh hectares) of sown summer plants in 2020.
Officials tracking seductive operations believed that this gap could easily be bridged three weeks to Front because this period is also expected to get good rain monsoons.
Although it has crossed the ‘normal’ area of ​​the ‘appropriate period’ almost a month ago, the higher the sitting area ‘normal’ throughout the season by nearly nine lakh hectares showed that the whole area seduced might almost touch the record last year at the end of the month this.
“It has crossed the ‘normal’ area threshold, giving a good recovery sign in the past month despite a large Monsun Rain deficit of more than 24% in August.
When the operating sowing continues, the extent that is sedated overall will definitely reach close to the 2020 mark , “said an official.
Asked about the reason for good progress despite the rainy deficit, the official added, “Maybe because of the drought’s inspection (preparing irrigation infrastructure) in northwestern India which slightly depends on the monsoon compared to the Indian Tangus region.
In addition, farmers also gradually switched from the Padi Guzzler Water to plants that are less eaten such as cereals like cereals and pulses in the region.
“Because the practice of using groundwater is also very common in Punjab and Haryana, farmers in these countries always use irrigation methods in the absence of rain.
